Ish Kabibble
who?
Ish Kabibble (January 19, 1908 – June 5, 1994)
was an American comedian and cornet player. In his 1989 autobiography,
Bogue explained his stage name, which he took from the lyrics of one of his
comedic songs, "Isch ga-bibble." The song derived from a mock-Yiddish
expression, "Ische ga bibble?", which was purported to mean "I should worry?",
prompting a curious (and perhaps not coincidental) association with the "What,
me worry?" motto of Mad Magazine's mascot
