    Did not see a D-B here -- and I looked.

    Always thought, even as a kid, he was kind of "out there..."

    Had tough time finding an obit that *wasn't* LBGT linked.

    RIP to a comic original.

    Remember him well from my days watching the show. One of the all-time funniest shows on TV, and it made Lily Tomlin, Goldie Hawn, Judy Carne, Henry Gibson and Arte Johnson stars in their own right.

    RIP.

    No way could they do that bit now. And I guess Paul Lynde and Charles Nelson Reilly needed another "confirmed bachelor" to hang out with in heaven.

    Got to see the Laugh-In reruns -- always thought Sues was great.

    The news reminded me of Kate Hudson's SNL monologue with the Laugh-In "kids." Will Ferrell played Sues' son, "I'm adopted."
