Charlie Callas, one of my all time favorites, died of complications from pancreatic cancer this past Wednesday.While I'm feeling rather melancholy, I still can't help but walk around with a smile and more than a few chuckles because he is a big reason why this Martin is laughing. He was either 83 or 86, depending upon which report you read. Here are some Youtube clips of this rubber-faced, elastic-limbed genius.
Evolution of a Comedian
A man for all seasons of life.
Plate spinner extraordinaire!
(I never did "get" this form of entertainment.)
Who are the real idiots--the vapid voluptuous "models," or the drooling derelict "readers?"
What a Drag!
PRIME ROASTS
Ff. to 4:22 for this Callas classic moment.
So long, Charlie! Although you are now "thppphhhttt!" you remain a true First Article gift from God that will always make me laugh out loud.
