Who was the first comedian to swear on TV?

Well..?

What do you define as a swear?

Damn, bloody, ruddy?

Or there was Churchill's famous drunken broadcast,

"To Herr Hitler I say, come and have a go if you think you're hard enough you c**t,"

Let's go for the F word then

Hmm that'd be Will Hay with
"It's that f**king man again,"

Kenneth Tynan in 1965, he was a satirist aNnd it was on a comedy show.

Will Hay was not a Tommy Handley fan then?
