Although the renaming of Gerry Dorsey is hilarious,the new name wasn't made up as Eddie suggests.There was a German composer of that name(1854-1921)and the name was taken from this.
Whether or not Eddie knows this fact and is having fun I really don't know!
You're right that there was a German composer of that name, but this is not whom Eddie is referencing. The Englebert Humperdinck that Eddie is referring to was a British pop singer in the 60's-70's. He was born Arnold Gerry Dorsey, but, after struggling to make it in music, changed his name to Englebert Humperdinck (after the composer you've mentioned).
shareYes that's my point actually....Eddy is suggesting that the 60's singer had a ridiculous MADE UP name by his manager when in fact it was taken from the composer.Sorry about the confusion.
shareI'm not so sure you understand comedy. He wasn't lecturing, he was telling jokes. They don't have to be true. He also probably doesn't actually believe that Jesus visited the dinosaurs or that the street car in San Francisco is transporting criminals to Alcatraz.
Jokes.
Are you sure he wasn't talking about Englebert Slapptyback?
