[The Wizard]

the Honeymooners are home.....

[Don Munn]

First you address the ball.

Hellooooooo Ball

[ARCADIA]

His work in the sewers is finally done, and I am sure that he is off to a better place.

A great comedian.

"R X!"

[Shooter 2.5]

Freepers know how to multi-task.

[Prime Choice]

Farewell, Art. Thanks for bringing such joy and laughter to the world. You will be missed. :,(

I'm very sad to hear this. He was one of my all-time favorite performers.

May he rest in peace, and may God comfort his family and friends.

[nuffsenuff]

I never realized that this was Art Carney. He was in "Lost Boys" and I've seen him in other movies and I never bothered to check the credits...

That was Art Carney from the Honeymooners?

[sonsofliberty2000]

Very sad. Prayers to the family.

Patriot Paradox

[Chancellor Palpatine]

Damn. He was a good guy.

[Prime Choice]

FreeRepublic is funny. Major terrorist attack receives passing notice, but death of old comedian is in bold-faced majuscules. Not criticism, merely observation of irony.

Not so ironic when seen in its context.

Terrorists are a dime a dozen. All-American comedic legends are rare.

Two-hundred terrorists could die today and we'd barely bat an eye. But the loss of a man who brought us joy and laughter will always give us pause.

I just heard this a few minutes ago on FNC. One of the all-time greats. He will be truly missed. I saw an interview with Jackie Gleason in which he said 95% of the credit for the success of the "The Honeymooners" belongs to Art Carney.

Art, when you play that first round of golf up there with Jackie Gleason, remember the following: Step up to the tee, plant your feet firmly, and address the ball.....

Rest in peace, Mr. Carney.

[Chancellor Palpatine]

A&E recently did an interesting biography on Gleason. As it turned out, Carney couldn't stand him. Gleason was on of the most screwed up people that ever lived.

[aculeus]

Before he worked in a sewer he had a classier job as Newton the Headwaiter in Morey's nightclub.

1948-50 The Morey Amsterdam Show.


RIP Newton/Norton and thanks for the laughs.
