A very funny man. RIP indeed.
Don't close out that celebrity death list of 2010 just yet. There's still a week and a half to go.
Truly saddened by this news. Excellent clip though!
Sad indeed. I also remember him from a TV show called "Conrad Bloom," starring Mark Feuerstein (who later starred on "Good Morning Miami"). Landesberg played a burned-out adman from the 70s who worked with the title character. The show aired in 1998, but only last a few months.
