I opened up twitter today and saw that Lanny Poffo was trending, then the first tweet I saw was “happy birthday Lanny Poffo”, and I thought “whew…”
But of course, after scrolling down I could see that Lanny had indeed passed away.
He was always great to have on the old radio show, and two years ago I called him up and did a spontaneous podcast with him from his home in Equador.
A great guy!
This is the gag that I've been doing at the end of my show- it's different every time because I'm working it with local guys. But these guys had to be the best so far- with no rehearsal they pulled off the "heckling barbershoppers" routine. And their singing was great too. Have a look.
