Victor didn't update his material very often. Some of these comedy routines from the 1950s I downloaded and listened to from this site were later being done on his PBS specials in the 80s and 90s. I did enjoy Victor Borge immensely, and I do miss seeing him on PBS. He was a funny man
Sorely missed

He was a joy to both laugh with and listen to, his humor helped me in a very dark time. Thanks for your gift, Victor.
