As a child I found him to be funny as hell. When I matured, not so much. There is no denying the laughter and joy he brought to millions over the decades. That in itself is a noteworthy accomplishment worthy of praise.

May he rest in peace...

The father of Improv. Winter was to die for. RIP.

Thanks for all the laughter.
