Answer: The King of One-Liners

Henny Yongman was given the nickname "The King of One-Liners" by columnist Walter Winchell. Youngman was known for his rapid-fire telling of one-line jokes and zingers during his stage performances.

Another example of Youngman's one-line jokes is "My wife said to me, 'For our anniversary I want to go somewhere I've never been before.' I said, 'Try the kitchen!'".
