RIP Martin Mull

[luvmysuper]

Martin Mull, droll comedian and actor, best known as host of "Fernwood Tonight" passed away 27 June at the age of 80 after a long illness.
I loved him in Mr Mom with Michael Keaton.

One of the people who made people laugh, and supported many actors in film n television playing minor roles. Guy was funny.

RIP Martin.
I haven't found a citation for this, but I recall MM doing this, to the tune of Country Roads. My memory could be failing me.

Take me home
To Bayonne
To the place I call home
Jersey City, by the turnpike
Underneath exit 14B

He was quite the amateur musician, and no slouch on the guitar!

As Phil (Luvmysuper) told me, that was probably Mark Russell.

Oh my. This one caught me by surprise.

Fernwood 2 Night is a show we still watch from time to time. Hysterically funny even almost five decades later.

The chemistry between Mull and Willard was special.

Now they're both gone. And leisure suits still cause cancer.

Loved him in Clue. That was such a great cast and he definitely was a core part of it.

one of my favorite comedians

A funny man, RIP Martin.

Mull was great in Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman where he had 2 roles, but Fernwood 2 Night/America 2 Night with Mull, Willard and "Happy Kyne" were favorites of my wife and I. My wife and I even saw Mull and Willard on tour in the early 80s.

As an aside, when I was in art school, I had a teacher who had been in art school with Martin Mull. He used to say that Martin drew better than anyone else.

 

[Lockback]

"Droll" was the perfect adjective.
That and very, very funny.
