I like the idea of a show where guests come on and get to have a bite to eat.

I grew up in the 90's and Leslie's films were apart of my childhood. I never understood the gags at a deep level, but the surface level had me laughing. Rip.

The Red Rock Cider ads he did in the style of Police Squad are worth checking out too.

He was an absolutely brilliant comedic actor. It's interesting to me that people turned down Priscilla Presley's role. Wonder who they are/were? She was perfect for the part.

Police Squad is a different beast to Naked Gun and is far a superior comedy effort

There’s an interesting curve of appreciation of his comedy as you grow up:
1- first you are a kid and find his physical jokes and funny faces hilarious
2- then you become a teenager that is too cool for this kind of silly comedy
3- finally you become an adult and realize his genius of subverting movie cliches, innuendos and non-sequiturs
