Timmie Rogers
Timmie Rogers (born Timothy John Anerum July 4, 1914 – December 17, 2006) was an American comedian, singer-songwriter, bandleader and actor who appeared on many national TV shows in the 1960s and 1970s. Rogers was one of the first Black comedians allowed to directly address a white audience when he worked. Before Rogers, African-American funny men had to either work in pairs or groups, only conversing with each other, and they had to play a character, while popular white comedians, such as Bob Hope and Jack Benny got to play themselves. Rogers worked by himself,〔 always dressed well, often wearing a tuxedo, and never wore blackface.〔
His humor was clean, topical, and political. Rogers was inducted into the National Comedy Hall of Fame in 1993,〔 and is often called the Jackie Robinson of comedy, because he opened the door for other performers such as Dick Gregory and Bill Cosby.
