Greene made 40 appearances on The Tonight Show and appeared on The Merv
Griffin Show, where he guest-hosted too.
In his later years, Greene struggled with stage fright, with panic attacks preventing him from performing to audiences for several years.
rCyI was a manic depressive,rCO he said in 2009.
rCyThen I developed panic attacks, and I worked with people who never knew
it. IrCOd get a standing ovation, then IrCOd burst out crying as soon as I left the stage.
