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

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
