When comedic legend Bernie Mac passed George Clooney said "The world just got a little less funny," well it's become even less funnier now with the sad passing of a comedy great, Leslie Nielson. "Surely you can't be serious". The hysterical star of 'The Naked Gun' trilogy and 'Airplane' was suffering from pneumonia, he was 84. Our thoughts go out to his friends and family as we tip our hats to a true, individual, genuine Hollywood legend. Where would guys like Jim Carrey and Will Ferrell be without him? He will always live on through his deadpan and no longer will we call him Shirley. Rest in peace Leslie. Thank you sir. TIM DAVID HARVEY
