[buffycharmedangel102]

Don Knotts.. whata legend!!!

[aidena6te]

that is the music from the American President :))) Love this

[jemlucy]

Hey Gthvidsten - do you happen to have 2005 in memoriam?

[ashcarl116]

@jemlucy I was wondering the same thing

[agustagsr]

RIP John Spencer aka Leo McGary love u and miss u

[ksol1460tv]

Oh ghod, John Spencer. That still hurts.

[nascarkraz]

@ksol1460tv I know what you mean. He'd be 65 today and watching this was hard in 06 and just as hard in 11

[giantsrule222]

0:37

[jckfmsincty]

Was Dennis Weaver gay?

[cjd2112]

Maureen Stapleton, great actress.

[milton2milton]

just another reminder that everyone dies and will die

[davykrump29]

Thanks for the reminder.

[BetaArtemis]

I miss John Spencer, he was truly a gift from god! The West Wing was never the same without his grace!

[melollylolly]

Darren McGavin....i didn't know he was gone! Aw; man; when I was a teenager in high school; i used to watch for his tv show--"Kolchak; the Night Stalker."(1972)

[scorpietta]

@melollylolly Neither did I. I loved "Nightstalker" as well, scared the heck out of me.

I had no idea that Dennis Weaver died as well.

[1zappa]

Richard Pryor's was the best lol. God i wish he was still alive.

[etrax2000]

sometimes these tributes can seem so beautiful and at others ;.just so increadiably, sad. it vasilates between joy and numbing.The gifts that they left to us and the pain at their departure. I hope they realized while in this life all the love that we had to give them.

[JoeB0y16]

RIP Darren Mcgavin, Pat Morita, Al Lewis, Richard Pryor, and Don Knotts. Sad. 5 of my favorite classic TV heroes gone. That was a bad year for celebrities.

[willbarza]

The Greatest Of All........Shelley Winters...

[arikariri]

which scene of which TV show belongs that one with Pat Morita..??

[Comictalent]

he was Arnold on Happy Days

[TIPTON340]

Happy Days

[dstar007]

Jack Warden...he stole the scene in everything he was in. All the Presidents Men, Twilight Zone, And Justice for All, Used Cars, 12 Angry Men, the list goes on and on. We lost a lot of great talent that year, they will all be missed, John Spencer, Richard Pryor, Don Knotts. Wow, sad to see them go.

[CashPresley32]

What about Buck Owens?

[newt0830]

carl kolchak....RIP

[grumpytosnowwhite]

Don Knotts, John Spencer, and Richard Pryor were the most missed :( Love them all so much.

[njdocisin]

John Spencer :-(

He died way too soon

[BetaArtemis]

wow, John Spencer got the biggest and loudest applause and cheer.

What a beloved man!

RIP Dear John Spencer!

We miss you so much!

[Comictalent]

Nah, I'm pretty sure Don Knotts did. But The West Wing was still on the air at the time and a lot of his costars really loved him.

[watchesMovies]

It's such a shame that they didn't include Inspector Gadget for Don Adams' part.

[masterd48]

r.i.p richard i sill miss you

[LukeJesu]

John Spencer :(

[onenonlyprincess2]

he died way too soon

[thatwierdasian]

don adams don knotts and richard pryor FTW

[allmyshadows]

i loathe the applause, only because they decide who they will or won't applaud for. they should just save it for the end.

[chasrusso]

Yep, it's the Death-Applause-O-Meter. Just cut the audio so the clips run with just musc.

[RYMAN70]

no jeseph barbera?

[balderdashman]

What is that piece of music at the beginning?  It's driving me crazy that I can't remember where it's from!!

[jflipse]

Closing credits from The American President.

[mskerripa]

That was Really nice

[SueSnell]

SO many of these actors should have been in the Academy Awards memorium - Oscar winners Shelley Winters and Robert Wise on the Emmys?? Richard Pryor was certainly a film star as well. Weird. I'm glad they were at least included SOMEWHERE.

[small5th]

i'm sure they were included in the oscars memorium as well...sometimes they're included in more than one memorium because they've appeared on television as well

[funkyle91]

I really enjoyed watching Don Knotts on Leave it to Beaver and Threes Company

[bearishpeter]

It always confused me why people clapped. Seemed strange.

[onenonlyprincess2]

I think they want to thank them for all they've done. and to say goodbye.

[tubeeorrnottubee]

Great ending! Love ya Richard! ~ THANK you!

[laurensolo]

Loved Don Adams...he was abosolutely remarkable, and I'm glad they played a great clip for him!

[KatTas4]

John Spencer was one of the finest actors I've seen on screen.

[dja69]

Richard Pryor was the best. I'll miss him.

[cptjrkov]

sad thing is i thought he died long ago back in the 80's

[idahopotato99]

It's not how they died that makes us miss them more, it's how they survived.

[stephsayss]

al lewis and robert wise were greats.

[idahopotato99]

You know the truth is that Clarabell the clown was an actually a female clown played by a male actor, and 'GOODBYE KIDS' were the only words that the clown ever spoke.

[giantsrule222]

@idahopotato99 - don't think my dad was a female clown...

[Dreamline45056]

Did you hear that roar for Don Knotts? Exactly as it should be.

[derekamalo]

yes and the silence for that philo t pharnsworth lady...exactly how that should be......for that idot to be on same memorial as knotts should be illegal

[Hammerman8699]

God bless Don Adams. He gave us a lot of laughs.

[nanlisa]

And at this year's Emmys, they'll probably remember Merv Griffin too.

[filmidioten]

Doh, do ya think? :P

[letisdorock]

Rest in Peace. You'll be missed.
