Victor Borge
On this date in 1945 Danish concert pianist and comedian Victor Borge premiered on NBC radio. The network gave the comedian/pianist the summer replacement slot for Fibber McGee and Molly.
The Celebrity Series presented Victor Borge 8 times between 1963 and 1999; he died in 2000.
The following quotes are attributed to Mr. Borge:
- "The difference between a violin and a viola is that a viola burns longer."
- "I'd like to thank my parents for making this night possible. And my children for making it necessary."
- "I don't mind growing old. I'm just not used to it."
- "Laughter is the shortest distance between two people."
