Too bad it wasn’t Yakov Smirnoff - he’d be funnier and a better person to boot.
I actually knew Yakov Smirnoff out in La-La Land. I think of him whenever I see or hear in the car, "Door is ajar." That was what I remember best from his comedy routines. He comes to America and is confused when a voice says, "The door is a jar." That happened to me just yesterday so I thought of Smirnoff.
BTW, what is Smirnoff doing nowadays since he lost his act when the Evil Empire fell?
