Milton Berle

The Story Of Uncle Miltie The First TV Superstar

Milton Berle

He was known to one and all as simply: “Uncle Miltie.” Today we explore the long life and unparalleled career of the one and only Mr. Television – Milton Berle! He was the very first superstar of American TV! His ratings were so astronomical that it is said restaurants, clubs, and bowling alleys closed early because everybody wanted to be home in front of their TV when the Milton Berle show was on the air!

For a few unforgettable, whacky Milton Berle - Uncle Miltie The First TV Superstaryears, “Uncle Miltie” brought low-brow burlesque, mock hecklers, a crazy series of running gags, and a memorable penchant for dressing in drag to the earliest days of American television. His amazing career and unique, the unbelievable personal story will come to life through hilarious film clips and intriguing insights and stories.
