Dom DeLuise has pegged it
I wouldn’t normally mention this type of thing ( “lol” ) but it just happened that we were talking about “Cannonball run” at work, on either Sunday, or Monday.
“It is with regret that I announce the passing of” Dom DeLuise.
Lenny Bennett also died very recently without hardly a whimper from the blogging community. I assume the master tapes of “Punchlines” and “Lucky Ladders” hold very little monetary value in 2009, and have since been destroyed or recorded over.
“Cannonball Run” isn’t very funny now, apparently. I’ve yet to watch the DVD I received in a newspaper…
