RIP Professor Irwin Corey

[Bob Juch]

As a fan of talk, game and variety shows growing up, I always enjoyed the antics of "Professor Irwin Corey", the wild-haired, double-talking comic who billed himself as the "world's foremost authority". The professor had a fascinating career which earned him such diverse admirers as Lenny Bruce, Ayn Rand, Robert Heinlein and theater critic Kenneth Tynan. Corey died yesterday. He was 102.

As is now practically mandatory with Bob's obituary posts, I checked up on this to verify (a) that he was dead and (b) that it occurred recently. Both seem to be the case, although he was one of those "I'd have sworn he died years ago" celebrities.

I now dub thee Super Snopes Steve, or SSS for short.
