I seem to recall he was always showing up on The Tonight Show and other talk shows because Johnny Carson and other hosts knew he could tell an entertaining story without coming across as self promoting or a suck up.

For some reason I thought you had interviewed him. I could have sworn you asked him about Cool Hand Luke and he gave a short not very illuminating answer, and it wasn't Harry Dean Stanton you were talking to. But of course you would know better than me.

It was Paul Newman's best performance on screen, and Kennedy couldn't match it, but he still did a great job and added a lot to the movie.

Also, the thing that really separated Lehrer from Mark Russell and The Capitol Steps is that his stuff is clever and funny. Their stuff is obvious, stupid, and flat.

Did you have to pay the Troll Toll to get inside the Boy's Soul or Boy's Hole?

He also really believed he had caught leprechaun, so in his paint-addled mind he wouldn't be hurting a real person.
