Leslie Nielsen, dead!

bummer, one of the greats. so glad he decided to do comedy in his old age, a lesson for us all.

Saw an article about it earlier :( it's sad. My funny bone is still grieving over the loss of George Carlin.

Frank: "Oh...sorry!"

Why can't anybody in Hollywood do satire like Zucker-Abrams-Zucker did in the 80's? The times cry for it now more than ever...

Unfortunately, Leslie Nielson was a real one-of-a-kind actor who could pull off that type of deadpan humor and make it hilarious...and now he's gone.
