Husband Ernie Kovacs
Edie Adams was married to Husband Ernie Kovacs for 8 years (1954 - 1962). Ernie Kovacs (January 23, 1919 – January 13, 1962) was an American comedian whose uninhibited, often ad-libbed, and visually experimental comic style came to influence numerous television comedy programs for years after his early death in an automobile accident. Such iconoclastic shows as Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In, Monty Python's Flying Circus, The Uncle Floyd Show, Saturday Night Live and even Captain Kangaroo and Sesame Street, and TV hosts such as David Letterman are seen as having made use of Kovacs' influence.

Great addition about Ernie Kovaks. I enjoyed his comedy. I'm unfortunately old enough to remember where I was when I heard he died. What a tradegy.
