Fred Willard was a comedic genius,, and one of my comedy hero’s. He ALWAYS makes me laugh.

On a personal note, I had the chance to meet him twice. He was the kindest man. Gave me some tips on some comedy I was doing.

One of my best days ever was when I got done on stage and he said “Hey, that was pretty funny, good job”


One of my favorites......you know what they say about blind prostitutes? You really have to hand it to them.

I always thought Fred and Letterman had that similar mid western timing and delivery...
