    The timid page turner is something of a hero of mine. I recall seeing a version of this as a child and in that particular skit I recall really seeing him nervous over turning pages. I realized at that moment that movement and timing can be just as funny as jokes. Being something of a homebrewed comic, I know the imagination can be more powerful than a laugh track. Probably my first inspiration into comedy. Thank you Timid Page Turner, wherever you are "calling the lights".

      His son who went by the name VB, or VeeBee. He and his dad, Mr Borge, created the bit and continued to fine-tune it over the years. I do want to correct one thing you said though. VeeBee was Borge's STAGE Manager (as was I for a year after VB stopped). As Stage Manager you are there for every performance in fact "calling the light"ing cues, making sure everything is set-up and run correctly, and assisting the star in any number of ways. It's a grueling job, as Borge would often play a different city five or six nights a week for months at a time. If the airlines had had frequent flyer programs back during my days with Borge, I'd be flying for free still today 2019!

    He came to El Camino College in Torrance, CA, in May 1984, to perform. I had a front-row seat. At one point I made the mistake of laughing at the wrong time--and got his attention immediately. He turned to face me and asked, "Vhat and vhere did you eat?" 😂
