RIP Fred Willard
« on: May 16, 2020, 03:29:48 PM »
Waiting For Guffman, Best in Show, A Mighty Wind, For Your Consideration. His improvised brilliance in all the Christopher Guest movies is pure genius. Man this guy made me laugh!

You will be missed.  :'(

Stilled over from the Jerry Stiller thread... yeah, he deserves his own thread.

I wonder how many people know him without knowing who he is. I feel like he flies under the radar enough that people don't know his name, but will see him in a film and think "Oh he's in this? That guy is hilarious!"

Of course Fred Willard and Best in Show would be the first thing Harmony and I finally agree on after all these years!

I know him from many tv shows as a side character. Never knew his name, but he was funny in most of those rolls.

May I start by saying how thrilled we are to have you here. We are such fans of your music and all of your records. I'm not speaking of yours personally, but the whole genre of the rock and roll.

Thank you for proving my point, Ben!  :)
