filkertomSad sad sad. The "poet laureate of television", comedian Nipsey Russell, has died at the age of 80. Russell was one of the first blacks to be seen regularly on TV. He also played the Tin Man in The Wiz. Quick-witted, warm-hearted, funny guy.
As everybody my age knows,
He made his mark on panel shows.
He always was a true A-list --
Farewell, dear Nipsey. You'll be missed.
