A guy with a 40 year track record of comedy.

He doesn't need to do this.

Well, maybe he's bad with money or something and is broke?

I don't know you like to get wet though.

You know fry? Sherman Helmsley?

A guy who was pretty much the embodiment of one of them -On the Come Up-Put Upon-Short, will be known to kids today as that old brother on Surreal Life, and has his name synonymous with cigarettes dipped in embalming fluid.

Who said there are no second acts in America?

Throughout his life, from childhood until death, he was beset by severe swings of mood. His depressions frequently encouraged, and were exacerbated by, his various vices. His character mixed a superficial Enlightenment sensibility for reason and taste with a genuine and somewhat Romantic love of the sublime and a propensity for occasionally puerile whimsy.

I love being obtuse with pop culture references, but I'm not quite black enough to fully understand the gist of this gib.

Something about he was once seen as a Whitey's black man, but this generation will see him as Old School?

Oh, I get it. You're saying he was an Original Playa, but now he's just going to be another Cosby's Dad.

I remember hearing not too long ago that the erstwhile Geo. Jeff. is, in fact, brokeback. Not that there's anything wrong with that...
