.... At one point during the '90s, he was a frequent guest on the Howard Stern radio show, once sending the shock jock diving for the delay button by leading an undeniably obscene chant against the Federal Communications Commission.

Yes!  [hello]

Yay Grandpa

I just read that Al "Grandpa" Lewis had died.  That really made me sad.  He was great.  Betty Friedan had died too.  Jeepers Creepers, it's a sad day.  I read "Feminine Mystique" when I was in eleven grade, changed my life for the better.  Farewell Grandpa and Betty.  I'm going to miss you.

I was sorry to hear about Al Lewis. His characters Schnauzer and Grandpa are forever etched in my mind. I remember hearing him on the Howard Stern show. He had Howard a little nervous with comments like F--- the FCC. He seemed to be a wild guy who had a blast till the very end. And 95 isn't a bad run.   Elmont...

I have a great memory of meeting Al Lewis at his old Bleecker St restaurant, "Grandpa's Belle Gente" in 1988. He was the definition of " a real character."  He spoke to each table, took a photo with me, then waltzed into the kitchen and began yelling at the staff, mostly for the entertainment value. Actually, the food was very good and affordable by Manhattan standards. I loved the Munsters growing up and still do. I guess he and "Hoiman" are  having a blast in that great lab in the sky. RIP Grandpa!!!!    [blackbat] [frankie] [Witch_Potion_Animated]  [Wolfie]
