Man, when I was a kid, this guy used to have me in tears with his improv stuff. And I do remember those episodes of Mork & Mindy with him, though it felt like M&M had jumped the shark when he was introduced. His improv routines though...

Really underrated by people my age and younger, his stuff is well worth digging up.

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

My first exposure to him was Mork & Mindy and while the show had SOOOOO jumped the shark by then, he made it hilarious again. He was just out there funny.

Not only did we lose JW, but two legendary coaches in WA- Marv Harshman (UW basketball), and Frosty Westering (PLU football). At least they were all all 85+ and had a good run but still cry

Well, dammit, Frankenstein is a great jam.

Wait, wrong guy.  why so serious?

I traded in my fun blog for several legal blogs. Or, "blawgs," as the cutesy attorney blawgosphere likes to call 'em.

He had the odd serious role as well, lik in this 1961 episode of the Twilight zone "A Game of pool"

They also made a remake of "A game of pool"  and this youtube compares the highlights. Interesting to watch it, especially as they changed the ending and both endings work.
