Error in title: it’s “Tapp”. I went to his IMDb [page](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0850058/) and was surprised about how few credits are listed. 90 as “himself” (?) on _Hee Haw_, 78 as a writer, and a few other things. I thought he was good enough that he would have been on a thousand other TV shows. Did a _lot_ of charity work which got him various awards in Canada. Mr. Gordon, the store owner. The husband in the Naggers. But most of all … “… and pffft [you was gone](https://youtu.be/WJZY__j0Tyk?list=PL6Gvyfk2G4Y-daQ62vwAdweTbZQhBOTh_).” ---
