Remember when Belushi bonked him with the kitana in “Samurai Tailor”?

[Political Junkie Too]

I was going to post that.

Did you see it when Steve Martin performed at the Florida Gym?

That was a funny skit.
Later Alec Baldwin pulled it off in real life.

And little did we know but he played Joe Biden...

[dfwgator]

I missed out on that.

They had to go to a station break because he sustained a moderately serious head wound.

When they came back, his head was bandaged. All the other cast members also wore head bandages, so he wouldn't feel that everyone was staring just at him.

I forgot about that one. Thanks for the reminder...

The main creator of Get Smart as co-creator Mel Brooks left the show early.

Man, I forgot how hot Teri Garr was back in the day. She’s not doing too well these days, unfortunately, I think she has MS.

It was great, during his arrow through the head, let's get small days. My favorite gag... "For those of you in back, the Magic Dime Trick!"

[Fungi]

Was he the one that did the skit with Belushi and the sword on his sex life?

[catnipman]

one of the best Buck Henry movies ever is “To Die For” ...

[DoughtyOne]

I agree. Really enjoyed his work.

[Morgana]

I remember that skit!

[Viking2002]

Just..........damn. RIP, Buck. Thanks for the laughs. You were a good one.

I believe he wrote and performed on the National Lampoon radio show and did bits on their albums. Funny man!

He will be missed.
