GENE BAYLOS comedian's comedian doing stand up comedy

Gene Baylos, nearly making it to 100 (Nov 16, 1906 – Jan 10, 2005) was a Friars Club denizen in New York, and a veteran who hung around with Berle, Henny, Jan Murray, Norm Crosby....everybody but Jerry Lewis, Gene complained that Jerry "stole" his act, or at least copied his "schtick." Gene was the kind of comic who'd walk out on stage, say "I was just at the dentist's office," and spray Chiclets out of his mouth. He was mostly a dependable warm-up act (for Dinah Shore among others) but in his prime, was a headline attraction.
