Im a bit too young to remember him on Laugh In but I thought he was great in The Burbs. Certainly a recognizable face.

Damn. He was always good, and brought a smile when he showed up in a movie. I remember him playing Teller's dad in something, and it seemed too perfect a casting to not be true in real life.

Will never forget his OUTSTANDING performance in Nashville. Bravura doesn't even begin to describe it. And those wonderfully horrible songs he wrote.... WOWIE. RIP Henry.

Re: RIP Henry Gibson
The hilariously jingoistic claptrap of "200 Years" was so convincing that it was unwittingly immediately adapted by high school bands all over the country. Absolutely brilliant stuff:
My mother's people came by ship
And fought at Bunker Hill
My daddy lost a leg in France
I have his medal still
My brother served with Patton
I saw action in Algiers
Oh we must be doin' somethin' right
To last 200 years.
I pray my sons won't go to war
But if they must, they must.
I share our country's motto
And in God I place my trust.
We may have had our ups and downs
Our times of trials and fears.
But we must be doin' somethin' right
To last 200 years.
I've lived through two depressions
And seven Dust Bowl droughts
Floods, locusts and tornadoes
But I don't have any doubts.
We're all a part of history
Why Old Glory waves to show
How far along we've come 'til now
How far we've got to go.
It's been hard work but every time
We get into a fix
Let's think of what our children faced
In two - ought - seven - six.
It's up to us, to pave the way
With our blood and sweat and tears.
For we must be doin' somethin' right
To last 200 years.
And fought at Bunker Hill
My daddy lost a leg in France
I have his medal still
My brother served with Patton
