Very sad to read this news. Not only was Martin a fantastic actor and comedian, he was also a really talented artist. 🥺

I don’t know him for any of those things. I know him for Fernwood Tonight.

I'm going to take this with a grain of salt until we get through his funeral without him suddenly jumping out of the audience in a trench coat. (RIP, though.)

I’m old enough to remember his first career as a comic troubadour, found out years later he was an artist, too. I was fortunate to interview him at a retrospective.

Repost in another thread. The episode of "Roseanne" where Leon is invited to the poker evening and brings his "husband" and Dan and his friends learn that he is gay was in my opinion a very productive way to tell people something about homosexuals. I would like to know how people reacted then.
