Joe Flaherty RIP
Damn, we lost one of the real funny people again today. I'm glad to hear other SCTV cast members saying that Joe was the heart and soul of SCTV. Behind the scenes, he was one of the most prolific writers and apparently was also the one who really shaped how the various episodes flowed. And of course...

This is footage from Orson Welles production of TWELFTH NIGHT done at the Todd School in 1933. Welles had just returned from acting at the Gate Theater and recorded the opening narration at the time (he was only 17 years old).

Re: Chaplin In The Eye of the Beholder
Or George Carlin:
"Look how stupid the average man is, and realize half of them are stupider than that!"
My favorite Fred Allen line (referring to radio and television)was:

I'm waiting to see the Charlie Chaplin bio that has a picture of Billy West on the cover.
