Gene Baylos (November 16, 1906 – January 10, 2005) was a nightclub comedian who was a contemporary of Alan King and Milton Berle.[1] Not widely known by the general public, Baylos was a favourite of many "celebrity" comedians in New York City.
A modest success on television, he performed his stand-up routine on variety shows, including The Hollywood Palace and The Joey Bishop Show. Baylos appeared on The Dick Van Dyke Show, playing a bum who finds a lost TV script, and in small roles on That Girl; and Car 54, Where Are You?.[2]
Baylos died at age 98 in Manhattan, of natural causes.[3]
