Welcome back to Boris Karloff month! Now that I'm done with Creeps by Night, let's look at another of Karloff's comedy appearances. Duffy's Tavern was a pretty good sitcom which starred Ed Gardner as a bartender prone to malapropisms. Celebrities frequently appeared on the program as themselves - as in this episode from January 12, 1945 where Boris Karloff portrays Boris Karloff. Karloff has a lot of fun at his own expense. They also tell a few Bela Lugosi jokes, so if you consider yourself part of the 'Lugosi vs. Karloff' debate, you'll enjoy that! Karloff's primary reason for appearing on this episode is to star in a parody of Frankenstein; it's pretty great! You can hear it at archive.org by clicking here!
