How sad. One of the giants, IMO. Very accessible humor.

Thanks for posting this... I'm not one who regularly watches the news or visits news sites per seh.. nor do I listen to the radio.. so I completely missed this one.. Always loved his visit on the Johnny Carson show..
This slipped by me as well. Just hearing it here too. Yea, he was one of the greats of his era. I did not realize he was that old.
I was never particularly a fan; just OK, imo. Seinfeld should pay for the funeral.
RIP
Hell, they ain't even old-timey ! - Homer Stokes
He had a great quote I always liked, which I'll have to paraphrase: "I'm shooting for the highest star up there, Ma, because if I miss, maybe when I fall I'll land on the moon. But if I shoot for the moon and miss, I'm liable to wind up right back here in the neighborhood."

We're trying to build a monument to show that we were here
It won't be visible through the air
And there won't be any shade to cool the monument to prove that we were here. - Gene Parsons, 1973
Excellent comic. Goodbye, David.

Looking forward to my day in court.
Similar Schlick,
no tunes, no dynamics, no nosebone
Never found him all that funny, but RIP, mildly amusing man.
Jeezus, hard room here!
What's a guy have to do to get a laugh? die?
Well, Carson though he was great, considering he was on the Tonight Show more than anyone else, over 150 times. Maybe it's an East Coast thing.

He was a huge talent! R.I.P.

“The only truth is music.”
― Jack Kerouac
He always made me laugh. I didn't realize I hadn't heard anything about him in ages until I read this.
RIP.
I've got a bike you can ride it if you like
Saw him live about 35 years ago.
Shit I'm old.
I always thought he was funny as heck, and wondered why HE didn't take over The Tonight Show instead of Jay Leno. He was on there often enough, and did a good job.
