  • We Say...

    You may know Markham's shtick even if you don't know his name, since Sammy Davis, Jr. later popularized his most famous bit, "Here Come Da Judge," on Laugh-In. A comic who continued to work in blackface through the '50s, he works in the broadest minstrel-show traditions — he follows up a courtroom intro ("The judge is high as a Georgia Pine today. Everybody going to jail today.") by sentencing himself to prison time — but he puts it over with vivaciousness and an undercurrent of mild satire.
