My Brother Was An Only Child

By: Jack Douglas

Intro by: Jack Paar

Before Jack Douglas published his hilarious and widely popular compendium of rejoinders The Jewish/Japanese Sex and Cookbook he wrote the absurdly witty tome, My Brother Was an Only Child. In a time when stand-up comedy was king on radio and television, Douglas's witticisms set the tone for a form of entertainment Americans relished.
 Beginning in the 1930s, the Emmy-award-winning Douglas wrote for the comic greats  Bob Hope, Red Skelton, George Gobel, and Jimmy Durante.� On television his regular appearances on the late-night shows of Jack Paar and others set the bar for the comedians of a generation.
Writing irreverently of Philadelphia, Poughkeepsie ("At the time we moved to Poughkeepsie, Ivan the Terrible was the czar�), Benjamin Franklin, his mom and dad ("My father never met John Huston. My father died when he was six years old.�), Mahatma Gandhi and the infamous Camp Nokopokopokonomopke, Douglas keeps the droll observations rolling page after page. A must for aspiring comedians and all lovers of humor.
