Truly a shame. But Leslie did alright, making it to 84 and staying employed and very funny for decades. RIP!

Crap.

Leslie Neilson was hilarious - probably because I knew him first as a serious actor before he went into comedy, which seemed natural for him.

His last joke was on Barack Obama: he beat the Tax Man.

He always wanted to do comedy.
He was a “class clown” in school..........

Go with God, Leslie.

A fitting tribute to his roots ...

Can’t help but notice the three different spellings of his last name. Neilsen, Nielsen, Neilson. They seem to have missed Nielson.

It’s i before e, except when it isn’t. It’s (en) except when it is (on).

Victor Buono played a great King Tut.
