[@billmccomb4629]

His son who went by the name VB, or VeeBee. He and his dad, Mr Borge, created the bit and continued to fine-tune it over the years. I do want to correct one thing you said though. VeeBee was Borge's STAGE Manager (as was I for a year after VB stopped). As Stage Manager you are there for every performance in fact "calling the light"ing cues, making sure everything is set-up and run correctly, and assisting the star in any number of ways. It's a grueling job, as Borge would often play a different city five or six nights a week for months at a time. If the airlines had had frequent flyer programs back during my days with Borge, I'd be flying for free still today 2019!

The timid page turner is something of a hero of mine. I recall seeing a version of this as a child and in that particular skit I recall really seeing him nervous over turning pages. I realized at that moment that movement and timing can be just as funny as jokes. Being something of a homebrewed comic, I know the imagination can be more powerful than a laugh track. Probably my first inspiration into comedy. Thank you Timid Page Turner, wherever you are "calling the lights".
