Mark Harris aka Mr. Martha Raye

Why was he never able to have his own career? He used to go on Howard Stern all the time back and he was a riot. He was always promoting some project, but nothing ever came from it. Howard even let him audition as a replacement when he left for satellite.

LOSER - I think he lost the Bel Air left him (or , he made sure, in her advanced senilty, he got) , and just disappeared. Last I saw him, he'd had more work on his face, and just looked freakish - like Roy, without Siegfried. Originally, he wasn't a bad looking guy.

And he was a hardcore Republican! Could never figure that out.

Did you ever hear this repulsive old queen's music?

It was hilariously bad.

I thought he was a care giver for Martha & she liked him, in every way...didn't mind if he took her money.

One of the great moments in television history: Mark Harris takes Howard Stern on a tour of Martha Raye's house.

Then, we get a look at Martha Raye's 77th birthday party. Poor Mags squints from the camera lights and meekly says "I don't wanna be on television".

Ceasar "Butch" Romero, Rose Marie and Anne Jeffries all have cameos.

(The tour and party start at 4:06)

He once told Howard Stern that he wrote to A. R. Gurney for permission to perform Love Letters with Mr. Blackwell and Gurney refused.

One of his neighbors when he was married to his first wife called into Howard Stern when Mark was a guest and revealed that Mark used to proposition all the good looking young married guys in the neighborhood for sex.

So many of his proposed projects never got off the ground, i. e. a musical version of The Portrait of Dorian Gray for Broadway, a television show where he would be filmed in the kitchens of chefs around the world entitled "Tasty Travels", etc.

OMG! I miss him. What a clown. On some talk show he was on some woman in the audience asked why he was with an old lady. Mark in all his queenyness, bristled: "Old Lady! MAHTHUH RAYE IS A LEGEND IN HUH OUWN TOYME!!!

His plastic surgery revelations on Stern were hilarious. He once said he was going in for a redraping of his neck and to have his balls lifted.

I liked his accompanist Leo D. Lion.

He's a gay Papa!

I loved him on Howard Stern. Remember the Broadway Show that was going to be sponsored by Contadina Tomato Sauce. Then when Howard and Robin grilled him further, he said that Contadina had shown interest but was not sponsoring a show.

I remember once he said he and Leo D. Lion were going to be a Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas. Howard grilled him and it eventually came out that he was just staying there, not doing a show.

Did he eat Martha's pussy?

Good question, R16. And if she blew him, I wonder if she took out her dentures first? It probably looked similar to this.

I remember him on talk shows, giggling like a girl. He did say that he and poor Martha had sex, but who in their right mind would believe that? She was almost dead when he married her.

I saw some friend of Martha's on some show. She said she asked Martha why she married Harris, a flaming homosexual. And she said that Martha replied "he's a man...and I don't want to be alone." Some "man!"

his Dear President Clinton song on Howard Stern is a classic.

Of track but Howards best TV moment was when he had Richard Simmons on and some of his fatties. Howard had Twinkies tied to a piece of string dropped down in front of each of the fatties' faces.

Any current pics of Mark?

I loved him, and he really was a good looking man. I am sorry to hear that he has gone the Siegfried and Roy way.

This is the most recent picture I could find, from 2015.

He’s not so bad, R23. After a few drinks, I might hop in bed with him.

Still not half bad.

Did he get her house and money when she died?

Bumping for more of dead Martha’s gay hubby.
