Incredible comedic talent and a perfect foil for John Cleese. How very sad that he suffered dementia in his last years. RIP

A wonderful bit, thanks for posting it; but while reading it I couldn’t help but hear Jules from “Pulp Fiction”: “Say ‘what’ again - say ‘what’ again - I dare you . . .”

#17 Milt Moss, a comic actor who delivered the rueful catchphrase I cant believe I ate that whole thing in a memorable commercial for Alka-Seltzer in 1972, died on Sept. 26 in Manhattan. He was 93.

Waiting for their movie to show up on my free site. I have all the dvd’s and watch them when my 16 year old granddaughter is with me on our boat. She laughs her rear off.
