I produced a stage play with Tommy Smothers back in 2012. He was a fun guy to hang out with, except when some roses were delivered to the theater for Tommy. When I handed the box to him, he asked me who they were from. Trying to be cute, I said “probably Rush Limbaugh”. My comment triggered him into a 10 minute tirade against conservatives. I’ve never wanted to take back something I said so badly.
Rest in peace, Tommy. Prayers to Marcy.
Thanks for those personal stories !
