I know the news is a bit old but farewell to a legend. One of the best to ever do it.

I’ve found him mildly amusing and a smart guy. But had this name come up as a trivia question, I would’ve just assumed he died years ago. Haven’t heard from him in years.

Enjoy your retirement.

Considering how ill he is, I was surprised he was performing in the place.

People like himself and Stephen Hawking are an inspiration.

I'm sure he get's that a lot. Wonder if he is OK with being recognized for that role more than his stand-up.

Admittedly, I did not even know him until after Boondock Saints. Then I looked him up and was like "oooooooooooooh, that guy" and recognized him in a lot of other things.

I remember him for when he took over the role as the teacher from Head of the Class. I didn't even recognize him in Boondock Saints.
