Fred Willard was so cool, he got popped for pulling his pud in a porn theatre at 72 and no one really gave a shit. I guess he lost some crappy narrating job, but was later hired as a recurring character on the biggest sitcom on TV.

RIP, funny man, one of my favorites.

”How much do you think I can bench?”

Honest to god question here since I wasn't alive then,  what was the purpose of the theater then if you couldn't whip it out?

"Like a Christmas tree in June." That's great. 

I saw the Space Force bit. I didn't know he was a frequent guest. Thanks for posting that. 

"How can you tell if Thomas Jefferson has been to your house? The drain is clogged and your slaves are pregnant."

Hysterical.

I had first seen him on "Fernwood Tonight," a show my much older brother used to watch when I was a kid.  It was a small-town Tonight's Show knockoff, with Fred playing the Ed McMahon role to Martin Mull's Carson:

 

I saw him in person about 12 years ago waiting in line for tickets at a UHawaii baseball game.  I begged my daughter to go say, "Aren't you Fred Willard from Fernwood Tonight?"  but she wouldn't.  So I walked up to him, stuck my hand out, and said, "Mr. Willard, I loved your work on Fernwood Tonight."  He completely busted out laughing, grabbed me around the shoulders and bellowed, "NO ONE HAS EVER TOLD ME THAT BEFORE!"
