      He appeared in a funny vintage SNL skit way back. Fred's character owning the "The Scotch Tape Boutique" in a mall somewhere.Sales are slow. A serious discussion ensues. Pipe smoking owner Fred Willard manages to put a positive spin on things. They all question it a little. They're all eventually encouraged by Fred Willard saying that brighter days are ahead. Tensions calm down. John Belushi goes back to reading his comic book.

        R.I.P Ken Osmond, 76, played "Eddie Haskell" on "Leave it to Beaver". He got typecast, only playing the role twice, book ending his career in the LAPD, where he retired after surviving getting hit by gunfire in a chase. One urban legend had him growing up to be John Holmes, and he testified during his disability hearings that he had to disrobe in front of internal affiars to prove otherwise.

          Fave Eddie Haskell episode. Wally and the Beaver invest in the stock market. Ward thinks it best that they buy conservative stocks. Eddie says..."Are you weird?" "Those stocks are for squares". "JetCo is where it's at." They go with Eddie and invest their money in JetCo, a company that rises fast and falls. Luckily, Ward had the broker sell JetCo when it fell below a certain point.
