Ish Kabibble (January 19, 1908 – June 5, 1994) was a comedian and cornet player. Born Merwyn Bogue in North East, Pennsylvania, he moved to Erie, Pennsylvania with his family a few months after his birth. ==Career== Bogue studied law at West Virginia University, but his comedy antics soon found an audience. He performed with Kay Kyser on the television quiz show ''Kay Kyser's Kollege of Musical Knowledge'' in 1949 and 1950. Bogue also appeared in ten movies between 1939 and 1950. In ''Thousands Cheer'' (1943), he appeared with Kyser and sang "I Dug a Ditch", and he also appeared as a vocalist in ''That's Right You're Wrong'' (1939), ''You'll Find Out'' (1940), and ''Playmates'' (1941). In his 1989 autobiography, Bogue explained his stage name, which he took from the lyrics of one of his comedic songs, "Isch ga-bibble."〔"Ishkabibble (I should worry)", Music by George W. Meyer, Words by Sam M. Lewis, Geo. W. Meyer Music Co., 1913.〕 The song derived from a mock-Yiddish expression, "Ische ga bibble?", which was purported to mean "I should worry?", prompting a curious (and perhaps not coincidental) association with the "What, me worry?" motto of ''Mad Magazine's'' mascot, Alfred E. Neuman. While this derivation has been widely quoted on the Internet and elsewhere, the expression "ische ga bibble" is not Yiddish and contains no Yiddish words at all.〔(World Wide Words )〕 However, there is a Yiddish expression, "nisht gefidlt," meaning "it doesn't matter to me," from which the term "ish kabibble" may derive. Although Bogue's stage persona was that of a dimwitted person, he was a notable cornet player and was also business manager for the Kay Kyser Orchestra from 1931 to 1951. With the decline of the big bands, Bogue found a new career in real estate. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ish Kabibble」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
