> A Brooklyn Jester Had an Enduring Comic Brew That Was True
> by Neil Genzlinger
> New York Times, April 9, 2013
> To people over a certain age it no doubt seems incredible that people
> under a certain
> age have to be told who Danny Kaye was. In the middle of the last century
> Kaye was
> one of the country's biggest stars, working his nimble, quick-tongued
> brand of comedy
> into a career that bridged eras and genres: radio, stage, film, records,
> television.
> For decades you would have to have lived in a cave to not know his work.
> At the moment Kaye, who died in 1987, is the focus of renewed attention.
> It is his
> centennial year, according to the birth date he used (though he was
> actually born
> in 1911, as David Koenig, author of the new biography "Danny Kaye: King of
> Jesters,"
> has noted). Various events have been celebrating his work and that of his
> wife, Sylvia
> Fine, a lyricist and composer who wrote many of his best-known songs. The
> Library
> of Congress in Washington has an exhibition called "Danny Kaye and Sylvia
> Fine: Two
> Kids From Brooklyn" on view through July 27, and last month it held a gala
> to mark
> the opening of an archive and Web site dedicated to Kaye and Fine.
> A lot of the centennial attention has been on Kaye's film career, movies
> from the
> 1940s and '50s like "The Court Jester," "White Christmas" and "The Secret
> Life of
> Walter Mitty" that captured him in his prime. His television work, in
> contrast, can
> tend to be shrugged off, much of it coming in the archaic-looking
> variety-show format
> ("The Danny Kaye Show" ran from 1963 to 1967) and its cousin, the
> star-centered special.
> But look more closely at some of these television clips (YouTube has a
> smattering,
> and more are coming in DVD releases), and Kaye seems to have one of his
> fast-moving
> feet in the present after all. Here is a Kaye clinic of sorts: lessons for
> young
> comedic performers, drawn from specific TV appearances:
> Break the Rules; Defy Expectations
> Kaye's brand of humor seems tame today, but it had an anarchic quality
> that would
> sit well in the 21st century. Evidence of that can be found in his first
> appearance
> as the mystery guest on "What's My Line?," from 1960 or so. In a regular
> segment
> on that show a panel of celebrities would try to guess the identity of a
> mystery
> guest -- that is, a fellow celebrity -- while blindfolded.
> Kaye turned the proceeding on its head, refusing to answer the panelists'
> questions
> with anything but a nod or a grunt, giving false answers as often as true
> ones. (At
> one point he tried to get the host, John Daly, to identify him as a
> baseball player.)
> The panelists -- Tony Randall, Bennett Cerf, Arlene Francis and Dorothy
> Kilgallen
> -- were flummoxed, guessing Harpo Marx, Laurence Olivier, John Gielgud.
> "The most
> dishonest mystery guest we've ever had," Cerf said when Kaye's identity
> was revealed.
> Daly said the appearance was the first time Kaye had ever been on live
> television.
> So from the start he was subverting the medium a bit even while working in
> its mainstream.
> Play Well with Others
> Kaye and Fine's daughter, Dena Kaye, of course has a number of favorite
> Kaye moments,
> but one from television that she singled out recently in an interview was
> a duet
> he did with Louis Armstrong on an early-1960s program. They reprised a
> number from
> the 1959 movie "The Five Pennies," a version of "When the Saints Go
> Marchin' In"
> with ridiculous patter lyrics by Fine.
> The television clip is better than the movie version, both men utterly at
> ease. Although
> some accounts have said Kaye could be difficult, there was rarely any
> evidence of
> that in front of the camera, and certainly none in this clip.
> "You see my father's ability to work with another star, and you never feel
> he wants
> center stage," Ms. Kaye said. "He didn't have to outshine anybody."
> That's a quality -- of comedy, of performing in general -- that sometimes
> seems in
> short supply today. Practically every late-night talk show host could use
> a refresher
> course: Jon Stewart, David Letterman, Stephen Colbert and others have a
> tendency
> to step on their guests' moments. Their interruptions might be amusing,
> but probably
> not as amusing as a shared spotlight would have been.
> Incongruity Is Comedy Gold
> It was the mid-1970s, and the folk-pop singer John Denver was at the
> height of his
> popularity when Kaye was the guest on one of Denver's television specials.
> Kaye by
> this time was well known for his work with Unicef, and he did a bit that
> began with
> his telling the host that everywhere he traveled for that charity he heard
> people
> singing Denver songs.
> Kaye, a master of foreign and made-up accents, then proceeded to
> demonstrate how
> Denver's songs sounded in the Caribbean, England, the Soviet Union. By the
> time he
> was done, "Leaving on a Jet Plane," "Sunshine on My Shoulder" and "Country
> Roads"
> were in tatters, having been rendered in preposterous accents and rhythms
> that were
> the antithesis of the syrupy Denver sound. It was a delirious comeuppance
> for the
> somewhat pretentious Denver, one with which he happily went along.
> Know the Intelligence and Tolerance Level of Your Audience
> As Roseanne Barr found out the hard way in 1990 when she sang a
> disrespectful version
> of "The Star-Spangled Banner" before a San Diego Padres game, humor works
> only if
> you can read the crowd properly. Kaye had the temerity to bring slapstick
> into that
> most somber of chambers, the concert hall, and yet not only survived but
> also thrived.
> His comedic conducting served him well for decades, and by the time of "An
> Evening
> With Danny Kaye and the New York Philharmonic," a "Live From Lincoln
> Center" performance
> in 1981, he had already proved that he could make classical-music
> audiences love
> him. Still, watching this performance leaves you startled at its
> brashness: Kaye
> made fun of the orchestra, the art of conducting, the audience and more,
> but his
> obvious knowledge and appreciation of classical music gave him the
> latitude to do
> so. As Seth MacFarlane perhaps learned from the reaction to his recent
> turn as Oscar
> host, there's a difference between merely mocking and mocking as a form of
> homage.
> Kaye returns to the concert stage, in a manner of speaking, on April 29
> when he is
> to be honored along with Frank Loesser and Jule Styne at a New York Pops
> concert
> at Carnegie Hall. Assorted other Kaye events are also yet to come.
> "My overall goal is to get the work out," Ms. Kaye said. The best of it is
> certainly
> worth a fresh look.
