Oh wow. I don't know anything about her first-hand, but she was a constant non diegetic presence in Maron's podcast.

Mr Veg said “He didnt die. (Solemnly) They came and got him.

Some of my best road trip memories from my first visits here were the late nights listening to Coast To Coast with Mr Veg. A true piece of Americana imo

he was old

the ignatius rock of ignorance (Dr Morbius), Saturday, 14 April 2018 07:47 (eight years ago)

Sorry to see him go, but he did have a respectable run.

Polly of the Pre-Codes (j.lu), Saturday, 14 April 2018 12:40 (eight years ago)

And, before that, a more interesting and cutting-edge one.

THEY finally silenced Art Bell. (And by "THEY," I mean old age.)

Also, R. Lee Ermey, though I don't have a source for that one.

Dangleballs and the Ballerina (cryptosicko), Monday, 16 April 2018 00:29 (eight years ago)

Ermey's passing was confirmed via his Facebook/Twitter accounts. 72 years old, pneumonia -- unfortunate and by all accounts totally unexpected, but a hell of a run.

Ned Raggett, Monday, 16 April 2018 00:36 (eight years ago)

ah damn

i was a fan of his reality show Mail Call on the history channel (the other ones not so much)

Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 16 April 2018 00:55 (eight years ago)

Mostly for local Cleveland interest, but if you saw the documentary you know him: Maurice Reedus Jr., Cleveland's "Sax Man"

Ned Raggett, Monday, 16 April 2018 22:34 (eight years ago)

Wow, we never did have a Night Court thread.

Ned Raggett, Monday, 16 April 2018 22:35 (eight years ago)

I don't think night court got screened much in the UK but i always loved his cameos in cheers

Lou Grant, the Iranian cinema of late '70s TV (stevie), Monday, 16 April 2018 22:37 (eight years ago)

Well... NIGHT CORUT

Probably not the time, huh.

Dethloaf LLC (Old Lunch), Monday, 16 April 2018 22:39 (eight years ago)

Still works!

Ned Raggett, Monday, 16 April 2018 22:42 (eight years ago)

Never watched NC, but I remember Anderson doing magic tricks on SNL.

the ignatius rock of ignorance (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 17 April 2018 01:32 (eight years ago)

;_; i loved night court, one of the random reruns we got in Australia

RIP Harry. He was a delight.
Also grownup Richie Tozier in the It miniseries. Beep beep :(

Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 17 April 2018 01:42 (eight years ago)

I love it.

When Harry Anderson used to shop at Zanadu Comics' university district store location in Seattle, he liked to attempt the same cash pranks that his "Harry the Hat" used on CHEERS. He did it often enough that the owner warned all his cashiers! Truly a character, on and off stage.

Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 17 April 2018 01:58 (eight years ago)

The social media reactions of his Night Court colleagues are unusually raw and heartfelt. They loved this guy.

Three Word Username, Tuesday, 17 April 2018 07:49 (eight years ago)

Where does this fascination with British royal family come from, Stan?

(Henry) Green container bin with face (Tom D.), Wednesday, 18 April 2018 18:08 (eight years ago)

I know that the queen, like many other people, loves her dogs, but fucked if I know why anyone else would care about them.

mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Wednesday, 18 April 2018 18:09 (eight years ago)

I don't actually know - maybe it's because some belgian newspapers and magazines want the number of visitors and controversial/stupid commenters that the daily mail has (because of the clicks), so they shamelessly steal a lot of those stories. There's a disproportionately large number of meghan and harry stories in there as well, for instance, even though even less people care about them over here than in the uk.
