Henry Morgan (born Henry Lerner Van Ost Jr.; March 31, 1915 to May 19, 1994) was an American humorist.
He first appeared on radio audiences in the 1930s and 1940s as a barbed yet often self-deprecating satirist; in the 1950s and later, he was a regular and cantankerous panelist on the game show I've Got a Secret as well as other game and talk shows.
Morgan was Alan Jay Lerner's second cousin.
Early life and education
Henry Lerner von Ost, Jr., was born in New York City to German-Jewish parents, Henry and Eva (née Lerner) von Ost, who were divorced when he and his brother were young. He grew up in Washington Heights and attended the High School of Commerce for two years, then moved to the Harrisburg Academy in Pennsylvania, where he graduated in 1931.
So This Is New York and early TV shows
Morgan made one film as a lead actor and producer Stanley Kramer's sophisticated comedy So This Is New York (1948), which also starred Arnold Stang and was loosely based on Ring Lardner's 1920 book The Big Town. Despite the fact that Morgan and the film received rave critiques, it wasn't as well-received by the public as his radio and later television efforts.
Morgan was on the air in 1948 with On the Corner, a fledgling ABC Television Network. The Henry Morgan Exhibition, which appeared on NBC television in 1949, gave him his own program, The Henry Morgan Show. Morgan's Great Talent Hunt, which rebranded the NBC variety show Versatile Varieties from January 26 to June 1, 1951, was a short-lived television show on NBC, which supplied the NBC variety series Versatile Varieties. The show started as a knock off of The Original Amateur Hour, and stars Kaye Ballard (on her television debut), Art Carney, Pert Kelton, and Arnold Stang as Gerard, who ostensibly recruited the "talent" for Morgan.
On April 20, NBC changed the show's name and format to The Henry Morgan Exhibition, a comedy variety show with singers Dorothy Claire and Dorothy Jarnac providing musical numbers between the comedy sketches.
Burton Turkus, the Brooklyn assistant district attorney, appeared in the gangster film Murder, Inc. (1960), alongside Stuart Whitman, May Britt, and Peter Falk. Henry Morgan and Company, a short-lived television series that AllMovie has characterized as a precursor to David Letterman's style of irreverent television, appeared on television a year before.

The Original Bad Boy of Broadcasting found him satirizing several of his former co-stars but not really looking into his professional life as if the reader were listening to a vintage radio satire of Morgan's life.
