    From a May, 1961 interview:

    I asked him to describe the role that has become his career:

    “I’m the fellow that heckles Jack. Wherever Jack goes and runs into trouble, he usually bumps into this fellow.

    “It’s not known to the general public, but when he calls me anything, it’s usually ‘Mr. Nelson.’ Mostly, he says: ‘Oh, it’s you again.’ And I give him a long drawn out, ’Y-e-e-e-sss.”

    This association with Benny has proved limiting though profitable to Nelson. In radio, he was able to do many characters — “leads, heavies, dialects, things of this nature.” But, in TV:

    “People see and associate my face with a voice and I’m trapped. Few producers will take a chance on casting me any other way. It’s simple enough for a Red Skelton to take on a serious role. The producer just announces that a star is going to try something different and the public eats it up. This isn’t the case with a rank and file actor.”

    Nelson has tried to break away from his “typing.” He shaved his mustache and got himself a butch haircut.

    “The only person I made an impression on was my wife,” he said.“She was annoyed.”
