I love how Larry King couldn't fully process Norm messing with him.

Yeah but he was married 8 or 9 times. That’s a lot of alimony.

When you get married that many times, do you find a way to gracefully remove the vows from the ceremony? "Til death do us part" has to seem hollow as **** to all parties when everyone knows it's your 8th go.

I always found it odd that so many people insisted that Jerry Seinfeld didn't get mad here and was playing the whole time. It's super clear that he at least got temporarily upset for a really petty reason before getting it together and trying to turn it into a bit.

Larry King is thirty years older than me. His daughter and my daughter were in the same preschool class in my LA days.

Cloris Leachman has passed away. Her career had a lot of longevity and she's an Oscar winner. Maybe she's still less important than George Michael? I would think far more people know him by name.

Anyway, RIP Cloris. She was always enjoyable in the things I saw her in.

Enormity is an interesting word choice.

I recognize the name, but knew nothing of her. Have done some googling.

She tweeted this very afternoon. Looks like a regular and active user. On the 19th she wrote that on January 28th she would be chatting with Whoopi Goldberg about her new book. Today's tweet was about the book, but no mention of or link to anything related to Whoopi.

Crazy to think about.

Too bad to hear about Leachman and Tyson.

If anyone's planning to have a memorial for Cloris, I suggest you put on a tie!

He still probably had some more coaching years in him rather retiring in his early 70s, but

Quote:

In 2005, Chaney ordered backup forward Nehemiah Ingram into the game to commit hard fouls against Big 5 rival Saint Joseph's in response to what he thought were several missed calls by the referees. After the game Chaney admitted to "sending a message" and stated "I'm going to send in what we used to do years ago, send in the goons."[9] John Bryant of Saint Joseph's suffered a fractured arm as a result of an intentional foul.[9] Following the incident, he suspended himself for one game, and upon hearing the severity of the injury, the university suspended him for the remainder of the regular season.[9] Chaney self-extended the suspension to that year's Atlantic 10 Conference Men's Basketball Tournament.[10]

On March 13, 2006, Chaney announced his retirement from coaching

Rip John Chaney. i played b-ball in jr. high and high school early in his Temple years and we ran a match up zone like Temple did. they were always in the tourney and i watched them all the time. for some reason i always thought he looked like an owl, fitting for Temple.

also liked that he had that fire

Dustin Diamond has died at 44. Often didn't seem like the greatest guy, but is clearly another cautionary tale about people who get roped into fame when they're just kids. RIP.

I'm sure there will be plenty of this on the social network.

That's typical of lung and esophagus cancers. I've lost a couple friends quickly to those two.

Jesus that was quick. RIP Screech. As much of an ass he seemed to be later on in life, i cant imagine what his childhood was like being forced to play the nerdy kid that everyone made fun of for 10 years.
