Ah man. Great in Freaks & Geeks as well.

 

[Unholy Diver]

Bummer, he was good at what he did, hard to believe he was 82, but I guess Happy Gilmore was almost 30 years ago

Farewell to Count Floyd and Monster Chiller Horror Theatre

Sorry to hear

Really, really sad. SCTV was the pinnacle of comedy and Flaherty was the glue that held it together.

Sad to hear this, RIP Count Floyd

 

[reckoning]

The man played so many memorable characters on SCTV from Guy Caballero to Sammy Maudlin. But my favourite was Floyd Robertson, always trying to give his best attempt at providing a professional newscast, but always getting frustrated at his co-anchor Earl Camembert's bumbling.

I'll be at the Red Lobster in his memory.


...God bless!



Didn't know his earlier work, can't believe he was Count Floyd but not surprised considering the SCTV connection. Never watched it but am aware, so missed the obvious info. Only knew it from the Ed Grimley show, and interestingly enough I was just looking up old clips of that a couple days ago.

 

[McGarnagle]

He was absolutely brilliant as the dad on Freaks and Geeks.
