RIP Ron Howard's dad

[KJIM]

Rance Howard, actor and father of Ron Howard, dies at 89, family says - CNN

I had no idea that Clint Howard was the kid in "Gentle Ben," or that his dad was in it.

I watched the Gentle Ben and Flipper hour every day for a few years.

 

[KJIM]

He was in Flipper, too? No way. I never put that together.

How about Lassie and Rin Tin Tin? I watched them all.

 

[Songbird]

I don't know if he was in Flipper too but I can't see Gentle Ben without thinking of Flipper too. That was a daily double for the ages.

Clint Howard original series Star Trek

 

[Corky Ramirez up on 94th St.]

Also had two small parts on Seinfeld. He played the blind guy who switches glasses with George, and then the father of the farmer's daughter who yells "Goodbye, Norman!"

And of course, Clint's the one who gets popped for the 5-19 and then declares that Ann Landers sucks.

Ron Howard might be the one person in Hollywood whose inclusion in the current harassment purge would truly stun me. Obama, Billy Graham, Betty White, and Jimmy Carter would be others. Anyone else? Popes, Phil Donahue, Alan Alda....I think I could see it.

Dude, popes? Check your history.

I would not be surprised if Billy Graham was a molester or creepy feeler.
Bill Belichick would shock me.

Would be shocked to learn that Ron Howard is a sexual being, let alone capable of anything untoward.

When Charlie Rose joined the accused, I told my buddy Mr Rogers has to be next.

The Reverend Billy Graham or Superstar Billy Graham? I'll be honest -- I think the wrestler would surprise me more.

 

[TowelWaver]

I loved him as the mayor in "Gung Ho." RIP.

He names his kids after the place they were conceived, so I actually can't watch his daughter in a movie without thinking of Ron Howard getting laid in a Dallas hotel room. Also, the best joke in the latest Arrested Development season was he had a daughter named Alley.

But, yeah, he'd be a huge disappointment if his name came up.

I saw the talk show in which he said he had two kids with middle names of Essex. That was the hotel. And the host said: If I did that, my kid's name would be Volvo.

Mine would be Basement and Couch.

How are you gentleman able to pinpoint the place of conception? /humblebrag or /exmediahack
