Wonderful Smith

Wonderful Smith

Wonderful Smith (June 21, 1911 – August 28, 2008) was an African-American comedian from Arkadelphia, Arkansas. He was most notable for his routine, "Hello, Mr. President" which was an imaginary conversation with American President Franklin Delano Roosevelt that lampooned the New Deal and World War II preparations. The routine appeared in Duke Ellington's satirical revue "Jump for Joy". No complete copy of the routine exists. Smith also made numerous appearances as an extra in various movies, such as a stage hand in the cavernous backstage scene in "This is Spinal Tap".
