What is the unknown comic?

The Unknown Comic is the stage name of Murray Langston, a Canadian-American comedian and actor known for his appearances on The Gong Show in the 1970s and 1980s. He is best known for his trademark paper bag that he wore over his head during his performances. The bag had a hole cut out for his mouth, allowing him to perform his stand-up routine while keeping his identity hidden.

The Unknown Comic's act on The Gong Show typically involved telling one-liners and jokes while wearing the bag over his head. His deadpan delivery and offbeat sense of humor made him a standout performer on the show.

In addition to his time on The Gong Show, the Unknown Comic made numerous appearances on other TV shows and in films throughout his career. He also toured as a stand-up comedian and performed at comedy clubs around the country.

Despite his popularity, the Unknown Comic remains a somewhat mysterious figure in the world of comedy, as he has always maintained a level of anonymity by keeping his face hidden behind the bag.
