RIP Big Al

[Baby Lee]

Al Molinaro, passed at 96.

Loved him on Happy Days. Loved the burgers at his stand in Bannister Mall.

Yes, his character's name was Danielson.

He also played Lamont's friend Ah Choo on Sanford and Son.

No. lol It was the scene when they were performing "Everybody Needs Somebody To Love." Damn it why did that song title have to be another slow curve over the plate?

I'm not sure if this is an Arnold Ziffel reference, but I hope so.

Dane can top anything, I assume. He probably played whiffle ball and snorted coke with John Belushi during filming.

Orange Whip?

Orange Whip?

That said, yeah. That's the definition of an 'extra.' A concert venue pre-CGI? Hey, that's me! 2,433rd from the left! No, not the hand appearing from behind the pillar, 5 over from there.

He should be proud; only about 700 other people can truthfully make that claim.

Since you asked, they're a couple of the leads in 'You're the Worst.'

It's a sitcom in FX where, the more you describe it, the worse [read: cliched] it sounds. But it's so superbly cast and written that it might be the best sitcom on TV right now, at least until Veep comes back.

[Mennonite]

Yeah, but what do they have to do with you blowing Theo Huxtable?

That was a line on the show from the chubby one about being a star****er.

I haven't seen it but I have seen previews when i'm watching "The League." I'll check it out. Veep is a great show too.

that's why it's in quotation marks...
