These depicted simple, cartoon-like situations, eliminating lengthy build-ups and going straight to the punch line. Known as "the King of the One-Liners", a title conferred to him by columnist Walter Winchell, a stage performance by Youngman lasted only 15 to 20 minutes but contained dozens of jokes in rapid succession.The most expensive item with a signature of Henny Youngman (Extremely Rare HENNY YOUNGMAN Hand Signed joke and Autograph on his Fiddle) was sold in December 2021 for $225.00 while the cheapest item (Henny Youngman Comedian Musician Movie IN PERSON Autographed Signed (#Ba56(61) found a new owner for $0.99 in October 2020.
