^MY MISTAKE.^ Now that you mention it Henry Gibson came out carrying a big flower.

YES that was his schtick!

I'm tempted to say "Fuck the world" at this point after all these deaths. Patrick Swayze may not have been Olivier, but the man was reputedly a very nice person, he stayed married to the same woman since 1975, and died of a disease no one should have to die FROM; Roy Scheider died of a staph infection while recovering from chemo; Heath Ledger dies of an ACCIDENTAL drug overdose of all things just as he established his dramatic credentials...

...Henry Gibson, one of the greatest subdued comedians since Jack Benny, dies the day AFTER Swayze...

...and Ashton Kutcher is still alive and fucking Demi Moore, and Paul Walker is still making movies that make money at the box office.

There is no God.

Now this is irony at its finest.....

His role as the (gay) Illinois Nazi was epic in The Blues Brothers.

Question: Didn't he play the Father/Priest in the Vince Vaghn/Owen Wilson comedy, "Wedding Crashers"?

I'm sorry, but there are a huge number of people who die everyday that aren't celebrities. Now I'm not trying to undermine anything here. I was a huge 'Patrick Swayze' fan. He was awesome in Road House, but the amount of people who die everyday is a bit more staggering then the deaths of celebrities. So far the amount that we have lost over the months doesn't come close to the amount of people the world loses everyday.

He was also the neighbor in "The 'Burbs".

I only ever saw an episode or two of Laugh In on satellite way back when I was 12. We never got that show in Scotland. All I remember was "here comes the judge!" And a dancing judge came onscreen.

I have seen many episodes of this. He will be missed.

That would have been the late Sammy Davis Jr. It became a long running gag on the show.
