“He was known for excelling at every creative discipline imaginable and also for doing Red Roof Inn commercials,” she wrote. “He would find that joke funny. He was never not funny. My dad will be deeply missed by his wife and daughter, by his friends and coworkers, by fellow artists and comedians and musicians, and — the sign of a truly exceptional person — by many, many dogs. I loved him tremendously.”

I met him once in his San Francisco art gallery. He met with the art class I was in and we all talked about art for a while. He was legit.

For my high school friends and I, Fernwood 2 Night was much more of an obsession than SNL. I've always been curious how it would hold up--I expect I'd be disappointed.

(Or maybe I'd be surprised, I don't know. I tried rewatching Buffalo Bill with Dabney Coleman once and didn't get past an episode or two.)

I first thought of this episode. I remember when it aired and it was the weirdest thing I'd ever seen at that point

He was good on Roseanne as her boss (and later partner) Leon:

Chuck Mitchell : [Leon has just told the poker group that he's gay] W-W-Well, y-y-you know, um, I-I-I know a gay guy. I, uh, his name's Bill. H-H-He lives in Chicago. M-M-Maybe you know him?

Leon Carp : Yeah, yeah, sure I know him. From Chicago. Gay Bill.

I had somehow never made the connection between his character in Clue and Roseanne's boss.

Only read The Palace of Dreams and must confess I didn’t realise he was still around.
