Description: Photo of Ernie Kovacs and Andy McKay from the television program Kovacs Unlimited. This was the local morning show Kovacs moved to after his Phildelphia WPTZ-TV Three to Get Ready was cancelled by the station to make way for the network Today show. The doll in the photo, "Gertrude", was a well-used prop on Kovacs' Philadelphia television program. His associate, Andy McKay, shown in the grass skirt and a mask made of masking tape, began working with him in Philadelphia and moved to New York to continue work with Kovacs.
