    Watermelons around the world can give out a sigh of relief.

    Was it him or his brother? Not a fan, but I found it interesting that he and his brother treated the stage persona as something either of them could step into. The only other time I'd heard or read about that was Groucho's account of Zeppo occasionally filling in for one of his older brothers.

    His first name was Leo. So there's my fact of the day.

    I saw him in the Seattle airport once in the mid-1990s, he was waiting for a flight to Pullman. He must have taken that flight, because I never heard anything about him ever again.

    Did he carry a hammer?

    When you're not popular enough to play in Branson any more, you end up taking flights to Pullman. ;)

    He appeared on our morning show years ago.

    The producers put him in the employee break room to wait until he was on. When they returned to get him they discovered that he had gone through the fridge and was eating everyone's lunches.
