Who will you miss?
Who will you miss the most?
For me the comedians have impacted me the most. From Bernie Mac's first Def Jam Appearance going all the way back to before I was born to Rowan and Martin's Laugh In.
I was on my way to a comic convention the day Harvey Korman died and I saw a fellow geek with a Great Gizoo t-shirt on and I informed him that Korman's passing had just been announced.
The geek turned to me and pointed out "the first thing he's done in a while that wasn't funny."
One of the first routines I remembered was Carlin's a place for my stuff. Though I disagree with Carlin's feelings about God, I understand how some people can turn you off from religion.
Who do you miss and why?
Oh...Good Night Dick.
