He was a good man and he always made me laugh, I remember reading somewhere that he was responsible for many other famous comedy careers like Mary Tyler Moore Dick Van Dyke and countless others he partnered with Mel Brooks as the 5000 year old man and many other credits to his career his resume wouldn’t fit on this website and he was anti- Trump to the end.
