not a single mention of Mort Sahl or Enrico Banducci?
used to watch the Professor on the Merv Griffin Show and other variety/talk shows when I was a kid. When it was announced that he wa a guest, I would wait with great anticipation for his appearence. I never knew what a deep and compassionate man he was….but he made me laugh until I could not breath!
Like Rodney, Irwin's persona was often funnier than his material.
Still, he led an amazing and brave life, beginning to end.
He's still extremely funny I'm pucking 95 years old and my hearing aid doesn't understand English 😅 🙃
What a amazingly beautiful documentary!!!!!!!! My god !!! Enjoyed every second!!!!!! Eye opening important!!!!! Love love loved this so very much!!
Thank you ❤
I’ve seen him in movies growing up as a child. Never knew his impact in the entertainment business. His best knowledge was something at first seen unbelievable until I googled and he was correct. RIP to a true legend
Superb.
Boring
was life changing, beautiful my favorite was when he was on letterman
sad too
This was such a pleasure to watch. So often, we hear how awful comedians are/were. It's so revelatory to hear the story of how a comedian actively chose to do good in the world his entire adult life.
Seventy one years is a long time to be picking up someone else's underwear 🩲.
This is really good I enjoyed it thoroughly
I remember Corey well. He was always so funny. He had an amazing, but extensive vocabulary, which I picked up on. His fearless approach to telling the truth and opening doors for early Black and Women comedies cannot be overlooked. I also recall the funny Frito Lay commercial he did.
Nice.
first
Cool
Congratulations on 71, years if marriage !
Oh wow I'm actually 2nd
Good for them ❤
