GA Russell Posted December 31, 2023 Report Share Posted December 31, 2023 Shecky Greene has died at 97. RIP. I felt that he was like the secondary sports leagues (like the WHA and the ABA). Everybody had heard of him, but very few saw him or heard him, in that he wasn't on television or found in record stores like other comedians were.

mjzee Posted January 1 Report Share Posted January 1 Interesting that there's a jazz connection: "And in 1985, he married Marie Musso, daughter of jazz saxophonist Vido Musso." (Also a Chicago connection.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
