Actor

The Resume

    (May 11, 1911-September 12, 1986)
    Acted on the ‘Jack Benny Program'
    Guest starred on 'I Love Lucy' and 'Sanford and Son'
    Appeared in ‘Bonzo Goes to College,' ‘The Milkman' and ‘The Malibu Bikini Shop'
    Provided voice work for ‘The Flintstones,' ‘The Jetsons,' and ‘Burns and Allen'

Why he might be annoying:

    His trademark was saying 'Yeeeess!' in a loud, piercing voice.
    Once you heard him say ‘Yeeeess!' it was hard to get it out of your head.
    He milked the ‘Yeeeess!' shtick for all it was worth.
    He was typecast at delivering snide quips and put downs.
    He was very territorial with his ‘Yeeess!' voice and got angry when other actors imitated him without permission.
    He liked to fish.

Why he might not be annoying:

    'The Simpsons' character ‘Yes Guy' is based on him.
    He mocked Jack Benny for wearing toupees, once cracking ‘Is that a hairpiece or did someone plant moss on your head?'
    He met his wife when the two were acting on a radio show.
    He helped found the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA) union.
    Unlike many voice actors, he had a successful transition from radio to television.
