Holbrook is a graduate of Denison University, where an honors project about Mark Twain led him to develop the one man show he is best known for, a series of performances called Mark Twain Tonight. According to Playbill, Holbrook?s first solo performance as Twain was at Lock Haven State Teachers College in Pennsylvania in 1954. Ed Sullivan saw him and gave Holbrook his first national exposure on his February 12, 1956 show. The State Department even sent him on a European tour, which included pioneering appearances behind the Iron Curtain.
