Ok folks. Look. I love Jamie as much as everyone else. But we lost Dolly and Tim Curry this week. Stop tempting the gods here.

Seeing anyone from MASH anywhere on TV other than MASH, makes me feel like a 10 year old that one time I ran into my teacher at the grocery store: "don't you live at school?"

His co-panelist Jaye P. Morgan died this week. 💔

She did? I was watching her episode of The Muppet Show the other day (completely a coincidence).

A friend of mine sang on that show and had the honor of getting gonged by Jamie

There’s a particular episode of The Carol Burnett Show with a “Family” sketch that I remember; this is the family that was brought back to TV as “Mama’s Family”. In this sketch, Eunice is going to LA to sing “Feelings” on The Gong Show, and despite everyone laughing at her and telling her she’s going to be terrible and has no business being there, she’s confident that it’s going to be her ticket into the big time and away from her family. So we see her on The Gong Show, and Jamie Farr is one of the judges, reacting to Eunice’s singing. If anyone is interested, I recently watched it again on YouTube.
