It is (sadly) to laugh - The World's (Original!) Foremost Authority

Before tramp hit the scene, this guy was (intentionally!) breaking audiences up for years. His name is Professor Irwin Corey billed as "The World's Foremost Authority."
If you younger readers never heard of him, you may enjoy the comedic precursor of DJT. And actually one more intelligent!
Here are a couple clips to watch to see if he reminds you of anyone... (more on youtube). I can't quite seem to put my finger on who it might be...
He past away in 2017 at the age of 102. Hopefully, his longevity doesn't give any indication of the curent "wannabe's" potential existence!
