Timmie Rogers (born Timothy Louis Ancrum July 4, 1915 – December 17, 2006) was an American comedian, singer-songwriter, bandleader and actor who appeared on many national TV shows in the 1960s and 1970s. Rogers was one of the first Black comedians allowed to directly address a white audience when he worked. Before Rogers, African-American funny men had to either work in pairs or groups, only conversing with each other, and they had to play a character, while popular white comedians, such as Bob Hope and Jack Benny got to play themselves. Rogers worked by himself, always dressed well, often wearing a tuxedo, and never wore blackface.

  • Timmie Rogers (born Timothy Louis Ancrum July 4, 1915 – December 17, 2006) was an American comedian, singer-songwriter, bandleader and actor who appeared on many national TV shows in the 1960s and 1970s.

Before Rogers, African-American funny men had to either work in pairs or groups, only conversing with each other, and they had to play a character, while popular white comedians, such as Bob Hope and Jack Benny got to play themselves. Rogers worked by himself, always dressed well, often wearing a tuxedo, and never wore blackface. His humor was clean, topical, and political. Rogers was inducted into the National Comedy Hall of Fame in 1993, and is often called the Jackie Robinson of comedy, because he opened the door for other performers such as Dick Gregory and Bill Cosby. As a singer, he often accompanied himself on a distinctive 10-stringed stringed instrument called a Martin tiple, including a 1975 television performance in a musical duet with Redd Foxx on the Sanford and Son series, playing a character named "Smiley Rogers."

  • Timmie Rogers, pseudonimo di Timothy John Anerum (Detroit, 4 luglio 1915 – Los Angeles, 17 dicembre 2006), è stato un comico, cantautore, attore e bandleader statunitense, che è apparso in molti programmi televisivi nazionali negli anni '60 e '70. Rogers è stato uno dei primi comici neri a permettersi di rivolgersi direttamente a un pubblico bianco quando lavorava. Prima di Rogers i comici afroamericani dovevano lavorare in coppia o in gruppo, solo conversando tra loro e dovevano interpretare un personaggio, mentre i comici bianchi popolari, come Bob Hope e Jack Benny, potevano recitare da soli. Rogers lavorava da solo, si vestiva sempre bene, indossava spesso uno smoking e non portava mai la faccia nera. Il suo umorismo era educato, aggiornato e politico. Rogers è stato inserito nella National Comedy Hall of Fame nel 1993 ed è spesso chiamato il Jackie Robinson della commedia, perché ha aperto la porta ad altri artisti come Dick Gregory e Bill Cosby.
