Jambi and Pee Wee

one of the best gags in The Pee Wee Herman Show

Yes! Ramon Azteca!

Also Cedric of Seinfeld’s Bob and Cedric (the street toughs)

One of my longtime favourite comedy character actors. A very versatile performer.

The aptly named John Paragon. May all who love him receive all needed healing.

…Paragon died back in April of 2021, but his death only became widely known tonight; no cause of death has been made available…

the sassy genie in a jeweled box

Ohhh, in a jewelled box, not wearing one…

Aww man… such great memories!

Aw man - that sucks. He was super fun on that show.

I dunno why this didn’t show up on the blog feed yesterday.
