Harry Hershfield

Harry Hershfield (October 13, 1885 - December 15, 1974) was an American cartoonist, humor writer and radio personality.〔 He was known as "the Jewish Will Rogers". Hershfield also was a columnist for the ''New York Daily Mirror''. His books include ''Laugh Louder, Live Longer'' and ''Now I'll Tell One''.
==Biography==
He was born in Cedar Rapids, Iowa on October 13, 1885 to Jewish immigrants.
He studied in Chicago at the Frank Holmes School of Illustration and the Chicago Art Institute. His career began at age 14, drawing sports cartoons and his comic strip about a dog, ''Homeless Hector'', for the ''Chicago Daily News'' in 1899. He then went West, drawing for the ''San Francisco Chronicle'' by 1907. He married Sarah Jane Isdell (?-1960).〔
In 1909, he was hired by Arthur Brisbane to work for William Randolph Hearst's ''New York Evening Journal''. He switched to the ''New York Graphic'' where he drew ''If I'm Wrong, Sue Me!'', and when the ''Graphic'' folded, he went to the ''New York Herald Tribune'' and drew ''Meyer the Buyer''.
During the 1930s, Hershfield was in demand as a banquet toastmaster, averaging some 200 banquets and dinners annually.
During his lifetime, he was toastmaster or master of ceremonies at an estimated 16,000 events, including charity affairs, dinners and stage benefits.
Involved in a legal battle with Hearst from 1933 to 1935, Hershfield drew a Sunday half-page, ''According to Hoyle'', for the ''New York Herald-Tribune'' during those years.
On March 11, 1938, he was signed to manage the story department of MGM's cartoon studio. He later commented, "They were so glad to welcome me, the day I arrived they gave me a farewell dinner."〔
He began radio work with a program named ''One Man's Opinion'', and soon after he brought ''Abie the Agent'' to an end during 1940, he became a well-known radio personality, telling jokes on the programs ''Stop Me If You've Heard This One'' and ''Can You Top This?'' He was a frequent guest of early television programs during the 1950s.〔(Gardner, Marilyn and Hy. "Glad You Asked", January 30, 1975. )〕
He died on December 15, 1974 at Saint Clare's Hospital in Manhattan.
