Nipsey Russell
Julius "Nipsey" Russell (September 15, 1918 – October 2, 2005)〔Nipsey J. Russell, born 15 September 1918, died 2 October 2005. Social Security Administration. ''Social Security Death Index'' (Death Master File).〕〔U.S. Census, 1 January 1920, state of Georgia, county of DeKalb, city of Atlanta, enumeration district 180, page 4-A, family 75, Julius Russell, age 1 year 2 months.〕 was an American comedian, best known today for his appearances as a guest panelist on game shows from the 1960s through the 1990s, especially ''Match Game'', ''Password'', ''Hollywood Squares'', ''To Tell the Truth'' and ''Pyramid''. His appearances were frequently distinguished in part by the short, humorous poems he would recite during the broadcast. These lyrics became so closely associated with Russell that Dick Clark, Bill Cullen, Betty White, and others regularly referred to him as "the poet laureate of television." He also had a leading role in the film version of ''The Wiz'' as the Tin Man. He was also a frequent guest on the long-running "Dean Martin Celebrity Roast" series.
==Early life==
Born in Atlanta, Georgia, Russell went to Booker T. Washington High School in Atlanta and attended the University of Cincinnati for one semester in 1936.〔Gail Fredensborg, Associate Registrar, University of Cincinnati, 9 January 2006.〕 He served as a medic in the United States Army during World War II, enlisting as a private on June 27, 1941, and returning from Europe in 1945 as a second lieutenant.〔National Archives and Records Administration. ''U.S. World War II Army Enlistment Records, 1938-1946'' (online ). Provo, Utah: MyFamily.com, Inc., 2005.〕〔Passenger list of the S.S. ''General Harry Taylor'', Port of New York, 13 September 1945, p. 233.〕 He got his start in the 1940s as a carhop at the Atlanta drive-in The Varsity, where he increased the tips he earned by making customers laugh. He was discovered after he began performing in nightclubs in the 1950s. He subsequently made many "party albums," which were essentially compilations of his stand-up routines.
