Alan King, dead at 76

I loved watching the Friar's Club. Alan King was a comedian, but he also had a lot of class. He was able to mix Buddy Hackett with James Bond. He had the smartass routine down pat. He would make observations about everyday life that would bring tears to everyones eyes. He was the kind of comedian who could maintain his dignity while delivering off-color jokes.

He will be missed.
