Totie Fields

Totie Fields was a stand-up comedian with an act based on self-deprecating humor who first gained national attention with frequent appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show between 1963 and 1968. Her last comedy spot was on the April 21, 1968 broadcast which featured the Muppets' performance of "I've Grown Accustomed to Your Face."
Once established on TV, Fields became a recurring guest on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson (including once as guest host) and was practically a regular on The Merv Griffin Show (over 50 appearances) and The Mike Douglas Show (his most frequent co-host). She made the rounds of The Carol Burnett Show, Hollywood Squares, Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In, That's Life, and Dinah! 
Fields appeared in a Bob Hope special, played multiple sketch roles in Sid & Marty Krofft's medieval special Fol-de-Rol (with Mickey Rooney and Robert Shields), and played one-time guest characters on Here's Lucy and Medical Center.
