4. Very sad, but not unexpected.

He was in memory care for the past couple of years. I can't remember if he had Alzheimer's or some other form of dementia. I'm sure Stephanie will dedicate a good portion of her show to him tomorrow. Jim was funny as hell. I'm sure she'll play lots of old clips of his comedy bits. I can't find his rendition of Kim Jong Un singing his version of "Yellow Submarine," which never fails to crack me up. But, this is even funnier:

Good bye, Jim. Thanks for the laughs.
