Ernie Kovacs, mostly unknown today, was an early television pioneer whose off-beat and risque' humor was innovative and daring for 1950's TV. His humor helped to shape my own as a young kid. Kovacs died in a car accident in 1962 just short of his 43rd birthday.

Don Adams?? I had no idea! (Maybe he was told to get smart and stop wearing those bikinis...) ;-)
