Rest in peace.
I saw him in an interview a few years ago and he said he was having the best time of his life.
This is a man who embraced his inner child and his inner funnyman and spent the second half of his life having FUN and bring us all along for the ride.
God bless you Mr. Nielson and I for one salute you with the whoopee cushion you used so long and so well for so many years!

He should break new ground (including comedic ground) by appearing as a cadaver (which he would be) in one of the crime forensics shows.

“The Poseidon Adventure” was really an adventure. I wouldn’t have thought he was 84, though.

Doug Nielsen told CJOB that the actor passed away at a hospital in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.A hospital? What is it, doctor?
"It's a big building with patients.....but that's not important right now."
Rest in peace, Mr. Nielsen. Thank you for all of the funny moments.

Welcome home, Commander.
Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Mr Nielsen is enchanting those in heaven now. Thanks for all the laughs, Leslie. You were a CLASSIC!
To: Tanniker Smith; cripplecreek
Over Over. RIP
Surely, you're not going to joke about this. That was actually Peter Graves who had that line.
