Melvin Edward "Slappy" White (September 27, 1921 – November 7, 1995) was an American comedian and actor. He worked with Redd Foxx on the Chitlin' circuit of stand-up comedy during the 1950s and 1960s. He appeared on the television shows ''Sanford and Son'', ''That's My Mama'', ''Blossom'', and ''Cybill'' and in the films ''Mr. Saturday Night'' and ''Amazon Women on the Moon''. ==Biography== White was born in Baltimore, Maryland, September 27, 1921.〔 Slappy White's official biography reported that he "ran away to join the circus" as a child. White was born near the old Royal Theatre in Baltimore, where by age ten, he used to dance outside for coins and sold candy at the theater. He left Baltimore at age 13 because he was in danger of being sent to reform school because of his school absences.〔 White joined a traveling carnival and made a living as a tap dancer with the troupe. He was eventually picked up by police and returned to his family, but could not trade show business for school. He received his nickname from the manager of a local theater where he entered a talent contest with a friend; the manager billed them as "Slap and Happy".
