I was working for a bank on Wilshire Blvd in Beverly hill's and had the pleasure of meeting him when he came in and cashed a check, such a great thrill for a young banker
Hell,I named my sonJack. He thought because of my love of golf, he was named after Nicklaus. He was born in 1983. Long after Jack's passing but I never forgot this giant.
He ranks easily among the all time great comics. He was both brilliant and unique and like all truly great comedians, he never looked like he was trying to get the laughs.
I really dreaded watching this, because all our heroes have clay feet. You find out the guy was some sort of off the chart monster or weirdo, and you really wish you were still ignorant. Lol It's nice to know some celebrities can still be nice humans. That is so rare.
