The speaker is Robert Klein, comedian, night show TV hosts, Saturday Night Live performer, author, and more. I realize that not every person growing up in the 1950s grew up like he did. In fact every person has their own story. But I selected him to be one of the participants in my 6 part television series, Making Sense of the Sixties because he was uniquely able to articulate what he saw and remembered. The 1950s was a defining moment in the history of America and so many of my subscribers comment on it when I post a video remembering this period. And it is my thesis that was the 1950s plus the incredible economy America had at that time that helped create what we now call the 60s generation. Robert Klein was born a bit too early to be a baby boomer but I believe he considers himself one, as do I.
