“Herbert London, a self-described ‘New York liberal mugged by reality’ who was transformed into an eloquent and consistently conservative academic, social critic and political candidate, died on Saturday in Manhattan. He was 79. The cause was complications of heart failure, his wife, Vicki London said. A 6-foot-5 former scholastic basketball star and incipient pop singer, Dr. London later was a founding dean of the innovative Gallatin School for Individualized Study at New York University and a prolific voice for scholarly think tanks. He interrupted his career to seek elective office in New York State. In 1989, Dr. London briefly sought the Republican mayoral nomination in New York City." - Sam Roberts, NYT

Hee-Haw was, without doubt, part of my childhood--more than even Laugh-In, in that it lasted longer.

Same thing with Jerry Reed when he died, I knew them as sort of comic relief on Hee Haw and Cannonball Run and didn’t realize how fucking good they were at playing the guitar

His (first?) two books about his time in Hollywood (Adventures in the Screen Trade and Which Lie Did I Tell?) are absolutely great, full of gossip and stories and a view of how things actually work. Plus, he wrote the Princess Bride.
