Title: RIP Larry Gelbart

Known primarily as a writer for the teevee show M*A*S*H*, but I know him as a writer for my favorite comedy old time radio show Duffy's Tavern.

He also wrote for one of the Sid Caesar shows (forget if it was "Your Show of Shows" or "Caesar's Hour") and co-wrote the book for "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" and screenplays like "Oh God" and "Tootsie". Talented guy!

For his Sid Caesar work alone, kudos!--one of the funniest, brightest creative minds in the biz.  I hope he is talking to Mark Twain and Steve Allen right now--if he is, they're all having a great time.
