Very funny man. Now, go watch Major League.

He was great in Mr. Belvedere as well. Just an all around great guy, by all appearances. This is a sad day but he lived a great life and seemingly got to do a lot of stuff as a career that he likely would have done for free.
Congratulations to Bob for a life well-lived.

Not too many commercials become ingrained in pop culture but that’s one of them. They actually still sell “Eucker seats” for nose bleed/ obstructed views.

That’s another one. I still occasionally hear someone dig deep and pull that out of the memory bank.

His appearance on Johnny Carson when Mel Brooks was also a guest is a gem to find on youtube.

If you haven't heard has HOF induction speech it well worth a view. Best line is (paraphrase) " I had a chance to sign with the hometown Milwaukee Braves right of high school for $1500. Unfortunately, my family did not have that kind of money"
