Abramowitz, spanned six decades. Adams honed his comedic skills working the
borscht belt in the summer during the 1930s, where he developed his signature
style of rapid-fire, cynical one-liners. He was also a long-time humor
columnist for the New York Post (he married future Post gossip
columnist Cindy Adams while working there) and wrote over 20 books,
including From Gags to Riches, Joey Adams Joke Book, Laugh
Your Calories Away, Here's to the Friars, How to Save the Earth
with Laughter and Encyclopedia of Humor. He appeared many times on
TV, with numerous appearances on Toast of the Town in the early 1950s and
1960s; he also hosted a radio talk show on New York City's WEVD. Adams was
president of the American Guild of Variety Artists and, in 1961,
toured Southeast Asia for five months with other performers as part of
President John F. Kennedy's Cultural Exchange Program. This tour is detailed
in his book On the Road for Uncle Sam. Lightly toned, soiled and bowed,
otherwise in fine condition.
