I believe the character he played was "Sergeant Bilko", if memory serves
me -- with big dark rimmed glasses and a balding head.

Was that Phil Silver???? Not sure if he was 40's era or not, but I used to
watch him back in the 50's on TV when I was a kid.

I heard this very funny piece on NPR a couple of years ago about a
40's-era comedian who did skits about military life. In one skit he
played a radio-class instructor disgusted with a new class of
underachieving recruits who were there to learn the code. He chastised
them for not studying while bragging that he could teach anyone the
code, even "a dog," which cracked up the studio audience (or, I'm not
sure which, prompted the laugh-track operator to open it up all the
way).
Being not quite 50, I wasn't there. I bet a few of you were :) I
couldn't find his name with a web search. Anyone have a clue?
