He looks like he had a stroke....hope he's ok.

He had surgery a few weeks ago. Ebert has papillary (thyroid) cancer, a common (and curable) type.

Hope he's still able to operate his million-worthy thumb!!

Yeah, on one show a couple weeks back he looked really scary, like he'd had a total stroke, and they didn't say a thing about it...

They must have gotten lots of calls/emails, though, 'cause Ebert explained the next week that he'd just gotten out of surgery... He didn't discuss what kind of surgery it was... Simply said that he'd just had "part two of the surgery that last year's was part one of"...

He was talking like Stallone. One side of his moth would not move when he talked.

Now that's bad. Hope he feels well soon.

He'll be able to eat popcorn in no time and with Butter too.

Well there it is....only six posts to get the first fat joke...

Although I don't agree with his reviews too often, I hope he sticks around with the show for a long time. I don't think I can handle a "Roeper & ????" show.
