Imissed this. You?

Tom Poston died.
Weird how I missed this but I did. Couple of days ago I guess. He was a great guy and one of my favorite comic character actors.
Read the official stuff here then come back.

Years ago I'm in Calgary and hosting a TV show for kids. Very hip type of program, basically Letterman for 11-16 year olds. Tom Poston is in town doing some Stage West deal and I interview him.
Couldn't have been nicer. Couldn't have been more gracious and said some things to me that made me feel like I was in the "Business."
He didn't have to do that but it was very appreciated by an impressionable 23 year old. I mean this guy had worked with Steve Allen, the original TV Talk Show Host.

I never forgot how cool he was with me and I used to get a kick out of watching him on Newhart.

I'm sorry he's dead and I'm sort of weirded out that I didn't know it till Thursday night.
Having no Radio gig has allowed me not to keep up on the day to day showbiz stuff.
Hey did you hear that Britney has gone nuts and shaved her head?
