Taylor used many props in a lot of his bits and, of course, confetti. He would spray the confetti on himself and on the audience. The legendary comedian also sported a toupee and thick mustache to go along with his theatrics. 

In addition to his stand-up, Taylor also did some acting on T.V. shows like “Sigmund and the Sea Monsters," "The Brady Bunch Variety Hour," and "Santa Barbara." Taylor also did a lot of voice acting as the talented actor was able to change his voice almost entirely.

Rest in peace Rip Taylor. Our condolences go out to Rip’s friends and family at this time. Pass this article along to others so they know about Rip’s passing.
