So on Saturday I'm bitching about the celebrity culture and how I couldn't think of anyone I'd cross the street to meet. Comes Sunday I'm sitting in the hotel bar and in walks Shelly Berman (apparently he's in a 5-0 episode) whose comedy records I listened to as a kid. I can still quote passages. So who must, simply MUST get his photo with the man? He's still funny. Tugs on his toupe and tells Dennis he should think about getting one, looks at me and says, "Yours is pretty good - almost looks real." http://twitpic.com/aqr8br

I still think of this guy every time I board an airplane ... insurance or no?

I must be out of the loop. Can't picture this guy in my mind at all. I guess I'll Google him. I would use the cop-out "he's before my time" but can't because I know a wide variety of old school comedians.

Just Googled. Ah, Larry David's father on Curb Your Enthusiasm! He's made me and my father laugh dozens of times. You'd think I'd have learned the fellow's name by now! I guess I'll have to dig more on Google and Youtube to see him in his early days.

OMG! I would have been best sitting down, because I'd hate to fall over in public. There truly are so few celebs these days that I would be interested in talking to...or just listening to! But he is such a classic!

[Age alert!] I loved him in Love American Style! (not talking about re-runs either!) WOW! Too cool for school! Angel
