Tom Poston 1921-2007

I just read that Tom Poston died. You probably won’t know the name, but you’ll know the face. I remember him best from Newheart and Mork and Mindy.

He was always a reliable and funny performer. He summed up my obscure knowledge of televison when one day in the bar at the Pleasance myself and Iain (One Neck) were talking about him while Jo looked on at the two of us like ‘who on earth are you two geeks on about?’

Here’s a brief obit from News From Me.
