As a big fan of both Clue and Fernwood 2 Night, this one hit hard.

      I don’t know if you’ve ever seen Fernwood 2 Night, but between him and Fred Willard, it’s like a master class in comic timing.

        I have not, and from what I just read on IMDB, it looks kinda like 30 Rock if it was produced 40 years prior. Also, appears to be on the Archive in its entirety.

          I’d say closer to Comedy Bang Bang.

    One of those dudes who you knew he was in something you loved, but never could remember quite which one. Because he was lovely and blended in every time.

    RIP to a wonderful actor. I was looking at his Wikipedia page not that long ago.

        They were really clever with inside jokes in Arrested Development.

        The family eats mustard and Parmesan as a gag meant to refer to his role as Colonel Mustard.

        Gene Parmesan also buys a knife from a shop next to a kids play place with a ball pit called “My Little Ballroom.”

      You mean like Character Actress Margot Martindale?

    Don’t forget when Simon turned into jelly (Airplane! 2)

      I’m confused. Do you think Chad Everett’s character was played by Martin Mull or is there a joke I’m missing?
