i saw him at the base theater at keesler afb when i was in tech school in 81. he did a funny show and then came down and hung out with all of us for a while. i had never heard of him until that day but went because it was something to do. he was a nice, down to earth guy. several years later he had a cooking show on tv and it was pretty good. his big line was "I garr un tee". that and everything he made started with a roux.
