Sad news today as one of my favorites, the veteran comedian and actor Dom DeLuise, passed away last night at age 75 at an L.A. hospital.  I had no idea Dom was even sick, because he stayed fairly active lately.  I remember just a few months ago listening to his instantly-recognizable voice on an episode of Spaceballs:  The Animated Series.  As a child of the 80’s, I have fond memories of his Ziploc commercials and as a fan of Mel Brooks, I have especially fond memories of his scene-stealing work in Brooks’ classic comedies.

However, one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen of Dom’s work was the outtakes at the end of Cannonball Run.  When Dom starts laughing, it’s just impossible to not start laughing with him.  You can really tell that he and costar Burt Reynolds were very close friends, and the chemistry they have on screen is an obvious reflection of that.  Just look at how much fun they were having and tell me you don’t want to chuckle just watching those two?
