As I recall, his repatriotism marked the beginning of his unfunniness. Strange what getting dumped by an airhead does to a "great intellect".
From Will Rogers to Wayne Rogers.
I actually think he's been married twice. First was a college sweetheart, the second was a lady from Denmark. I started getting A Prairie Home Companion shortly after he was swooning for her on the air.
He's lost his edge, certainly. In Lake Woebegon Days, he came up with one of my all time favourite lines:
"Wayne, you're so dumb you deserve to be a Democrat."
Since then he's been grasping at straws. Liberals and funny rarely go together.
