This week, the King of the Catskills joins Leslie Gold to tell us about his life story. Born Bernard Horowitz, Bernie Berns started his life of entertainment young and eventually rose to fame in a place that was a breeding ground for comedic geniuses. Like most child entertainers, life was anything but normal. We hear the stories about his family, what life was like working in the Catskills as a kid, and about the time he appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show. There’s more to Bernie than just his comedic schtick, and we find out that there was more to his life than becoming a household name. 00:00 - Intro 03:49 - Interview with Bernie Berns Follow Us on Social Media: Leslie Gold (@twitter) A Life’s Story (@twitter) (@instagram) (@facebook) Jam Street Media (@twitter) (@instagram) (@facebook) Learn more about your ad choices.
