Art Carney RIP

Who is going to be the first to post on Art Carney of the HoneyMooners RIP?

I loved this!

Carney married his high school sweetheart, Jean Myers, in 1940. After the marriage broke up, Carney married Barbara Isaac in 1966. They divorced 10 years later, and in 1980 he and his first wife remarried.

“We always kept in touch because of our three children,” he said in a 1980 AP interview. “After our second divorces, it was sort of like the puppy coming home: `Oh, it’s you, come on in.’ We decided to give it a go again.”

I really liked that movie, The Late Show, with him and Lilly Tomlin. It was a very different role for him. I never saw Harry and Tonto.

Norton: When you come down the street, there aint no other side!

Thanks, richardm, for that one above! You know, they really KNEW how to write comedy in those days, the show writers really loved language and words. Today it’s all one-liners and FUCK THIS SHIT THIS. O where are the snows of yesteryear?
