EspañolIRVING BENSON
'Irving Benson' was a standup comic in the Borscht Belt or Vaudeville tradition. He resembled Myron Cohen to some extent.
He worked with fellow vaudevillian Milton Berle over the years, and gained a good deal of recognition as a (planted) heckler in Berle's weekly variety series in the 1960s, playing a character named "Sidney Spritzer" ("Spritzer" is German/Yiddish for "Needler" or "Sprayer"). "Sidney" would "interrupt" one of Berle's monologues from his private box seat conveniently overlooking the stage, and engage the host in a series of humorous insults and comebacks.
He also made some appearances on ''The Hollywood Palace''. His last acting job appears to have been on ''Happy Days'' in the late 1970s.
