Ernie Kovacs - Edie Adams as Marilyn Monroe sings “The Ballad of Davy Crockett“

[From “Kovacs Corner“ on ] - One of Edie Adams’ most noted impersonations that she performed on Kovacs’ early morning show was that of the late Marilyn Monroe. Here Ernie greets “Marilyn“ as she walks down from the aisle at the NBC Studios in New York circa 1955. “Marilyn“ then offers a musical rendition of one the most popular songs of the time “The Ballad of Davy Crockett“. The director in the control room catches Ernie off guard with an unexpected visual superimposition. It probably sums up Ernie’s feelings at the moment quite accurately!
