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.

Comedian John Pinette has died. I don't know how many people were familiar with him, but I remember him being quite funny.

Also Mickey Rourke has passed. His career included many, many movies. I will remember him by watching Santa Claus is comin to town.
