Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something. We need to stop this fucking planet right now and sort some shit out. -Kail

Oh man  One of the greats, and hugely under-appreciated, in my opinion.

Surely you can't be serious. What IainC said. Also, I was 8 by 1988 and probably didn't see this movie until a couple of years later, at earliest - I doubt I even knew who Leslie Nielsen was before 1990.

This is damn terrible news. Loved Police Squad as a kid, and the Naked Gun movies even more.

Russell Peters has been hugely popular in America for about the last 5 years or so. Hell, most people I know didn't realize he was Canadian.

So you are saying there are brown people in America?  I kid, I kid - I just find that living in Vancouver makes other places seem very, um, monochrome in comparison. I wondered how well Peters' ethnic impersonations played to other places.

I wondered how well Peters' ethnic impersonations played to other places. Oh come on, most major American cities are massive melting pots. San Francisco is even less white than Vancouver. Of course his humor is going to go over well here. US and Canadian culture is incredibly similar, things popular in one place are going to be popular in another. Now, I don't know how popular he is outside of North America.... On another note, I went to google his name after I read about his death, and discovered that there's actually a model who shares his name (with a slightly different spelling), via google throwing this picture at me after hitting the search button: NSFW: Further investigations show she has many other great photos. So thank you Leslie Nielsen! Even in death you bring me joy.

God I hope you're playing that one ironically straight.
I only do straight if I'm playing.  To be serious a second, a lot of my humor is deadpanned silliness thanks to Mr. Nielsen. He's always been one of my favorites.
