Let 'er Rip
The 74-year-old resurfaced at a charity event in L.A. recently, looking unbeweaveable!
Rip was born Charles Elmer Taylor and is also known as the Prince of Pandemonium and King of Camp and Confetti.
Taylor served in the Korean War.

(Page 2 of 2) Previous 15 Comments16. We live in Vegas and he was at The Cannery. I agree he was very funny and we talked to him after the show gave us autographs and took a picture, he said he was going to do his one man show next year on tour. Must go see it, thanks Rip.

18. Is that his thumb or is he holding a frank?

19. I LOVE Rip Taylor!!!! He's hysterical! I wish he'd come on the Jerry Lewis MDA telethon like he used to.

23. I have great memories of this man. During the 70's, my dad and I attended countless TV show tapings, where Mr. Taylor did not appear on camera but did 'warm up' the audience with his hyper routines. He was so funny that there came a time when we would inquire as to wether or not HE was the warm up guy before committing to be a part of the studio audience! Thank's Mr. Taylor. In our hearts forever!
