RE: Trump should get a trophy for crushing Chuckles.

Yes.

Chuck is ready for his role now in rebooting the Mary Tyler Moore show episode....

Chuckles Bites the Dust” (Season 6, Episode 7), which aired on October 25, 1975.

While serving as the Grand Marshall of a circus parade, Chuckles was dressed as one of his characters, “Peter Peanut” a “rogue” circus elephant mistook him for a giant peanut and tried to “shell” him, resulting in fatal injuries.

The newsroom staff makes light of the bizarre death, with Murray Slaughter famously joking, “You know how hard it is to stop after just one peanut!”.

The Funeral: Mary Richards, who was appalled by her colleagues’ jokes, finds herself unable to control her own laughter during the solemn funeral service.
Chuckles’ signature catchphrase was: “A little song, a little dance, a little seltzer down your pants”.

“Chuckles Bites the Dust” is widely regarded as one of the best episodes in television history.
