Stiller & Meara's Debut Album On Verve

Because, with comedy records, you never know...

I saw them several years ago at a concert show with Dick Gregory and Professor Irwin Corey. They (and the other two gentlemen) were hilarious.

A thought while looking at the record jacket you posted - for a while (early 60s), Verve did a lot with comedy records.

Beginning in the late 50s, iirc, Berman & Sahl, and on into the md-60s really, yes, a lot of comedy records on Verve. Remember the inner sleeves where they had the partition that said "The Wit Of America Is On Verve"?

What else strikes me is that I don't recall either of them being that young, especially Anne Meara, who looks like she could still pass for a teenager if she had to.

On Atlantic circa 1970:

Not familiar with that kind of records (and their contents) at all, but on that Atlantic cover, Stiller looks a lot like a reborn Ernie Kovacs to me.

That was my first thought as well! I remember them on The Ed Sullivan show in the mid-'60s, and they seemed a little old to me even then.
