I watched his Emmy award acceptance speech in New York 30 years ago.....
"I would like to thank the director but I am the director, I would like to thank the producer but I am the producer, I would like to thank the script writer, but I am the script writer, I would like to thank the actors but I am the only actor.... and it wouldn't be nice if I went on thanking myself."
Thought he was long gone..
Died this morning of natural causes. Last worked 2 years ago playing his recurring part on the Simpsons as Krusty the Clown's Rabbi Father
