Goodman Ace
Comedian, Broadcast Artist
1899 – 1982
Who was Goodman Ace?
Goodman Ace, born Goodman Aiskowitz, was an American humourist, working as a radio writer and comedian, a television writer, and a magazine columnist.
Ace's broadcasting career happened by accident, after one night of bridge and a following night of absenteeism, by the show that followed his wry movie reviews on a Kansas City radio station.
"Goody" is not always the most recognisable writer/performer of his era by today's reader or listener, but his low-keyed, literate drollery and softly tart way of tweaking trends and pretenses made him one of the most sought-after writers in radio and television after he turned his attention to writing alone.
