Loved Lenny and Squiggy! I never realized they put that act together while students at Carnegie Mellon.

RIP David.

Never liked the show, but.....battling Multiple Sclerosis for 37 years! Man, what a tragedy.

On one of the talent show episodes they said "I'm Lenny", "and I'm the Squigtones". hee hee hee
(I've seen every episode at least 10 times. I know all the lines.)

ETA - I was just sitting here thinking - if somebody isn't familiar with the show and they see (Squiggy) in the title of the thread. (huh?) ha ha

Loved them on the show, and admire what an advocate he's been for issues related to MS. A 41 year marriage in Hollywood is impressive in its own right too. RIP
