Even though I have not heard of him, anytime someone passes away, it is a sad event.
RIP

I read somewhere that he only appeared 5 episodes. I never would have guessed that.
On a side note, the voice of Tony the Tiger also passed away. He's the same gentleman who sang the Grinch song.

Never heard of Earnest T. ?
Now, that's truly the sad part.

See if you can find the movie they made about 30 years ago, called "Ten from Your Show of Shows". That was the mid-50's Sid Ceasar Show, starring Sid Ceasar, Imogene Coco (sp?), Howard Morris, and Kenneth Marrs (Hans Libkind in the original movie "The Producers"). Among the Show's writers, I think, were Mel Brooks, Woodie Allen, and Carl Reiner.
Worth it. And plenty of Howard Morris.

Now there's a celebrity I can get upset over. He's been the voice of Tony forever.
