We’ve been talking about her in another thread, so a shout out to Melanie, 76 years old this year.
She’s living in Nashville now. It doesn’t look like she tours anymore, but she did put on a 75th birthday concert online last year.

For years if you heard an animal in something there was a good chance it was him.

I would say he could relax and do something akin to David Letterman, but the last time he tried out the talk show thing — it didn’t go well.

I loved him as Gomez.
Literally fell in love with him, when I was 4. All I knew is that I wanted to watch him over, and over, and over.
The Riddler was a great role, for him, but (There’s always a but.), I absolutely adore him in Night Court, as Buddy Ryan.
One of my favorite random quotes to interject in almost any conversation is, “But, I’m feeling much better, now.” (IYKYK)
I seriously hope that he gets at least a cameo in the reboot.
The world needs more Buddy.

I was saddened to read this news about Jack Hanna today. I always enjoyed his guest appearances on the old Letterman show. He certainly deserves a cheer as well as thoughts and prayers.
