Rip Taylor is an American actor and comedian. After serving a stint in the Army, Taylor appeared in two episodes of The Monkees television series in 1968. He continued to work as a voice performer in the 1970s NBC cartoon series Here Comes the Grump (as the title character) and in the second Addams Family cartoon series (as Uncle Fester).

In 1988 Taylor and Patty Duke appeared on Super Password for one week. On one of the episodes, in the first game of a match, Taylor struggled to give a clue for the word "testimony". After coming up with "Episcopalian", host Bert Convy humorously remarked about Taylor's struggles, and after Taylor's contestant partner failed to guess his reaction resulted in him talking over Duke's clue ("witness"). Duke then said the password after she was allowed to repeat the clue, and Convy lost control of the show shortly thereafter.

Taylor appeared for three years in the burlesque-themed musical comedy Sugar Babies, and was featured on the soundtrack album. He has been a frequent co-star with Debbie Reynolds in her live shows in Las Vegas, Reno, and Lake Tahoe.
