I just heard this on the radio on the way home, and it saddened me. What a comic genius he was!

Incredibly quick witted. Highly intelligent humorist. He was more brilliant than Robin Williams and nowhere near as vulgar. There should be an epic tribute to him.

I agree!! Even in his old age when he was frail, he was brilliant. He was on "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" in the '90s, and outshone the improv guys.

I really want to watch "Ten from 'Your Show of Shows'" now.
