Ed Asner, legendary actor, activist and philanthropist, passed away peacefully Sunday morning, surrounded by family. He was 91.
Asner, former president of the Screen Actors Guild, is best known for his role as Lou Grant on both The Mary Tyler Moore Show and its spinoff Lou Grant, pulling off the extremely rare feet of playing the same character in both a comedy and a drama series.

He won’t be seeing me in Hell.
No comment either....
But a prayer for his soul.
Yawn.
I knew he was bad.
Didn’t know he was THAT bad.
You keep it up and he will
Wasn’t he one of the first liberals to openly admit he was a communist?
You should see the animated cartoon for kids he did recently. It was pure Soviet style propaganda. ‘Mean old capitalist only thinks about him self, good people share everything’ talk.
“One of the biggest jerks and smarmiest, preachiest libs ever. Good new alert. We need some.”
Yup. Track, wall.....that ones outta here!!!
“Same kinda people that still watch pro sports and pay monthly TV fees ... giving money to people that want them dead.”
Exactly!
Now I fear, with the new rules about college athletes who get a free college education being able to earn money, that the hatred will soon be seen from same college athletes and I’ll have to stop watching college sports, too. What a shame!
He played a Nazi hiding as a Jew in CSI NY, I think that pretty much summed him up.
‘It is possible to appreciate his professional talent without admiring him as a human being.’
While that may be true, while watching this known low-life, you were helping pay his salary.
Ed Asner was fully vaccinated March 4th, 2021. Here is the video of him getting it.

Maybe you don’t know enough about Red Ed Asher...
“Asner served two terms as president of the Screen Actors Guild, in which capacity during the 1980s he opposed US policy in Central America, working closely with the Alliance for Survival. He played a prominent role in the 1980 SAG strike.[40] He had also been active in a variety of other causes, such as the movement to free Mumia Abu-Jamal and the movement to establish California One Care, single-payer health care in California, for which he created a television advertisement. He endorsed Barack Obama during the 2008 United States presidential election. He was formerly a member of the Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee (DSOC)[41] and was a member of DSOC’s successor, the Democratic Socialists of America.[2]
It may have been a rare “feet,” but was it really that difficult to play Lou Grant in a comic and a dramatic series?
I’ll just stay quiet. You know the ol’ saying.
“Yawn”
That is exactly what I would expect from a hypocrite. ;-)
A hard core admitted and proud communist.
Thanks for the good news, that this hater of America is no longer wasting Oxygen.
You’re right. I’m a total grammar nazi. The grammar, punctuation, and spelling on the internet is atrocious.
Asner is a Jew. His real first name is Yitzhak.
