From The New York Times, May 9, 2004: Alan King, the stand-up comedian who parlayed a borscht-belt sense of humor, a tummler's cheek and a big appetite for the limelight into a thoroughgoing show business career that lasted more than half a century, died Sunday morning at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in Manhattan. He was 76 and lived in Kings Point, N.Y. The cause of death was lung cancer. King is survived by his wife of 57 years, Jeanette. Thanks to Ira Rubin for sending that in.
