    Preview A Clip From The New Comedy, “Bob’s Burgers”

    Last night comedy acting legend Leslie Nielsen passed away in a Florida hospital due to complications from pneumonia. The 84 year old actor was surrounded by his family and friends.

    If you’re a comedy fan (which I assume you are since you’re reading this), you don’t need to be reminded of Nielsen’s amazing list of work, which inspired a generation of comedians and actors, while simultaneously making millions of people pee themselves with laughter…but I am going to.

    A star of movies and television, a career spanning 60 years, always working consistently and as recently as projects in 2010.
