The guy cold make me laugh with just the expression on his face. Rough week for the rich and famous. Shelley Duvall, Dr. Ruth, Richard Simmons, Shannen Doherty, and Jacoby Jones over the last 8-10 days. Making me feel real old.

This really makes me sad ....... my two best friends in schools first names were Darrell and Daryl.

I loved to say the corny 80's line "this is my brother Darrell and this is my other brother Daryl"

It’s rare to find a comedian who can stay funny as hell from youth to old age.

Had his own style too.

RIP. Always enjoyed his stuff!
