Tom Poston has died

He also did the voice of the Capital City sports mascot in “The Simpsons,” retiring and passing the torch to Homer, didn’t he? Funny guy.

I always like it when “tame” actors get a chance to get down and dirty. The one I most remember him doing this was in an episode of “Dream On” where he played “Uncle Bouncy”, a kid’s show host who had, err, problems with booze and certain public activities.
