David Letterman: Gene Rayburn's Tombstone

[ashcarl116]

e.g.

"the tombstone of Steve Mcqueen reads "the king of all cool."" his nickname.

For the record his cremains were scattered in pacific.

[mar88ia]

LMAO! ahaha blank.

[ashcarl116]

hahaha this isn't the only time I heard letterman joke on someone after death without being aware of true fact. they did a message of television reunion shows and for joke had the cast of Bonanza as skeletons (in costume). for the record Michael Landon (still in tomb) and recently Pernell Roberts were both cremated!

[tryithere]

@ashcarl116 It's a comedy show.

[drewcomix]

...boobs?

[FlamingoKicker]

It is a joke people. I know most folks don't remember but once David Letterman used to be a funny guy.

[123MrBurg]

@FlamingoKicker > a year later... yeah, if it wasn't for that fight over Carson's seat... that seemed to take some of the fire out of David. He rebounded a bit, then...

[dcm198422]

Did Richard Dawsons and Gene Rayburns patch things up before Gene died? I heard he leftt Match Game on bad terms. I watched the final Richard episodes and in my opinion Richard was very rude to Gene and other stars

[tryithere]

@dcm198422 Richard Dawson was supposed to have been a douche' anytime the camera wasn't on.

[cartoongameshowfan76]

Wow I didn't know Gene was cremated!

[smittykins]

According to Find-A-Grave, his ashes were spread in his daughter's garden.

[tryithere]

@smittykins Does that mean he's sharing his daughter's bed?

[ashcarl116]

@tryithere NO, seriously, scattering cremains in a garden, is just good land for the what's left of you to be on.don't you know about scattering remains?

it's like hearing someone's ashes scattered in wife's river and you comment "does that mean he's swimming in wife's pool?" think person.

[tryithere]

@ashcarl116 You stupid asshole. Do you know what a flower bed is? You're a total idiot. Think before commenting.

[ashcarl116]

@tryithere oh, I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking flower bed.

[dominoize]

funny

[dookykins]

For the record...Mr. Rayburn was cremated.

[startrekkin58]

I didn't know that...

[ACcountryFan]

well, for comical purposes, the writers apparently wanted to use the "blank" reference so that's why they mentioned a tombstone.

[tryithere]

@dookykins For the record...Mr. Rayburn was blanked

[dandydonaldo]

At his funeral, Gene Rayburn had eulogies from Dumb Dora and Old Man Periwinkle.

[the06bug]

Wow, I'm surprised Old Man Periwinkle outlived Rayburn!

[WDQNRadio]

Its true, he did! Ugly Edna sent this Fun Fact to Letterman, but she looked so bad that Dave had to get a new ______!

[WrestlingHeretic]

HOW BAD WAS SHE?

[SuperGamer7]

...SHOW!

*sarcastic applause* :P

[ricsanta1]

@dandydonaldo "At his funeral, Gene Rayburn had eulogies from Dumb Dora and Old Man Periwinkle."

HOW DUMB WAS SHE? :-)

[scifiradioguy]

@ricsanta1 Everytime she thought of something to say, her mind drew a blank.
