That's too bad, he's a funny guy. I enjoyed watching him on Stargate SG1, he seemed to enjoy working with his sons. He seemed to have a zest for life.

Here's a very funny clip from the Johnny Carson Show.

I was in Germany in the Army in the the 70s. His show was on Armed Forces Radio Network. It was Thanksgiving 1976 and we all worked in the air traffic control tower and were in our 20s. None of us knew how to "do Thanksgiving." Mike had a whole week of recipes and every day one of us "signed on to the radio" to copy down the recipe of the day. The others covered the business of talking to the pilots. Wynn and I shopped and were going to be the cooks. We were SO proud of ourselves - Apple pie, Turkey, Stuffing, Salad, Sweet Potato Casserole, Green Bean Casserole (not from Mike), and Mashed Potatoes. We served everyone with a flourish. After saying grace, everyone dug in. We noticed some people were making faces but trying to be polite. Wynn took a bite of the dressing and loudly stated, "this tastes like SH#T!" The dressing had two types of alcohol added. EACH of us had not only added the alcohol, but we intentionally EACH added "a bit extra", a gross understatement! Not Mike's fault and I have a story I've been telling for 40 years!

I'm going to repeat the 'clean'. If they don't have money for renovations (and quality renovations that respect the integrity of the house), hopefully they have time and can clean. Gleaming, fresh, sanitize and that means inside closets, built-ins too. No drips, leaks, dirt or stains. Scrub, wax, and freshen paint if that's necessary, then let the price acknowledge some updating may be needed. If the neighborhood is right, I think they'll have good results if they are realistic with their pricing. I sold a 1925 home earlier this spring that had a professional update to the bathroom, all fresh paint including woodwork, dry sound windows, immaculate landscaping. The kitchen was not a cooks dream, it was spotless and everything worked however. No granite, no stainless appliances, no dishwasher or disposal :) I asked the listing agent if he thought I should purchase and include a dishwasher, and he said -' the house is move in ready and shining now. Let's wait and see if the kitchen becomes an issue or if people are willing to update after purchasing as I suspect. If I get feedback that points to the kitchen being a drawback, we'll talk again.' 3 offers from 4 showings in the first 4 days. All were reasonable and we closed in under one month.

Some things are so serious that you need to pay heed to the rumors even if the person never went to court. I was sitting with a couple of women discussing restaurants in town. One of them mentioned a "certain" restaurant and I told them that the owner was thought to be a pedophile. A waitress who worked there for years told me he was taken to court for molesting a child. One woman said, why would you say that about someone who was not found guilty in a court of law? I said, "because he had over night parties for kids at his home". Now why would a bachelor do that. I said rumors or truth, it doesn't matter, would you let your grand kids stay overnight there, even if it was a rumor and unproven in court. The other lady said, "my grandchild went to one of those parties". She was white as a sheet and said I wish I had known about the rumor.

Do you read lots of books by the same author?

Hi Carolyn - yes, I'd like to read the Stand, but as you say, it's been revised (as in - made much longer than it was). It's the old problem - the more popular an author, the less likely the editors will be prepared to say "Look, this is really a bit verbose - it needs to be cut down a bit...." Stephen King wanted to revise The Stand, and that's his prerogative - but I'd like to read the original version, not the new one. It's like DVD's and "director's cut" or "extended edition" versions. I want to see a DVD of the film as shown in cinemas - not some other longer version with scenes which, when you see them, you realize why they were edited out !

I remember seeing him in many films. He was a very funny man and will surely be missed.

He was a very good actor. His dramatic work was good as well as all the funny stuff he did. I loved seeing him cook. What passion! He'll be missed.

Lou, when you make a post after you type your message you hit the preview part, then down below the part where you could change your message a section comes up that says optional link url. That's where you put the www stuff. Right below that you can put a name to the link. I'm not sure why when you start a thread the option for the link doesn't come up until you preview it the first time, but, it doesn't. Hope this helps in the future. Thanks for posting this.

What a shame - I always liked him.

My favorite thing he did was a movie called 'Fatso'. It hit the nail on the head perfectly of living in an Italian family and how life just revolves around food!! There's a scene of him in the kitchen scooping some "gravy" from the pot with Italian bread - we kids grew up doing that! It wasn't Sunday if you weren't in the kitchen dunking a piece of bread in the pot of gravy trying to not get caught doing it! You got a rap on the knuckles with the wooden spoon if you weren't fast enough lol!! Love that movie.

Immensely funny, immensely likable. We'll miss him.

Watch him do a spot-on imitation of Brando in this clip from 'Men in Tights'--and he briefly talks about food in it, too.

He was a very sweet man. He did a charity performance for us a few years ago, and there was no pretense, just kindness. My sympathies to his sweet wife Carol and his family. The world lost a very good guy.

Here's a fun clip from his younger years...

I loved him too. I remember when he used to do a magician act and Ruth Buzzi was his assistant, Shagundala - they were each so great!
