Can anybody verify this? - I swear I saw a Duncan Donuts commercial (quite?) a few years ago, and there was some little old guy in a line (for coffee, I guess) that a woman called "Earl". I swear that was Johnny, and this was well after the Police Squad! movies. I thought they didn't use Johnny in the movies because the actor was either too old, or perhaps dead. Am I crazy on this?

@ProfessorpH I know that I said the Naked Gun came out in 1989
And Johnny the Shoe shine died in 1986 but I dont know how

@thebritish25 This is not from The Naked Gun. This is from the TV series Police Squad, which ran in 1982.

@poughkeepsiejohn SHOWS HOW FAR AHEAD YOU AMERICANS ARE IN COMEDY SHOWS !! POLICE SQUAD BRILLIANT !! NO ONE KNOWS WHAT COMEDY IS ANY MORE !!

Who died in 1986? William Duell, the actor who played Johnny, is still alive, though he's getting quite old now. Judging from his appearance on TV tonight, it appears that Dick Clark has been dead for quite some time, but hasn't realized it yet, and continues to act as if he's still alive. But he surely was still well past 1986.

Someone needs to upload the clip where he explains the Cinderella Complex to Dr. Joyce Brothers.

@paper000000 William is still with us!
Love "Police Squad!" I'll never understand why they didn't use Johnny the shoe shine guy in the movies. He was terrific. It should be noted that Tommy LaSorda and Dr. Joyce Brothers made a visit to Johnny on the show. And yes, ska is great music!
