Morey Amsterdam

The wisecracking television writer on The Dick Van Dyke Show started his career in vaudeville and on the nightclub circuit in the 1930s and made the move to television in the 1940s. Remembered for his corny jokes, Amsterdam also appeared on television's Broadway Open House, Keep Talking and Hollywood Squares.
