The Natural Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 RIP the late, great Paul O'Grady, 67. Such a sad loss from Lily Savage to the Paul O'Grady Show my favourite with Buster/Olga to championing LGBTQ+ and animal rights. Thoughts go out to Paul's family and friends xxx.

AxB Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 In 1987, Paul O'Grady was on stage as Lily Savage in the Royal Vauxhall Tavern in London. A bunch of officers from the Metropolitan Police burst in to raid it, all of whom were wearing rubber gloves, to protect themselves from AIDS. Immediately upon seeing this, Lily quipped "Looks like we have help with the washing up".

Lance Reddick's Lt. Daniels is one of the few people on the show who is willing to risk anything in the name of his own moral compass. He isn't perfect, but the way Reddick plays him, you can't help but respect him. He's so perfect in that role that it blew my mind when I heard he'd auditioned for the part of Bubbles.

Curt McGirt Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 For some reason I hadn't read this thread until just now. I'm heartbroken too. Lance was not just great on The Wire but on Oz, where I first saw him. I don't know what else to say. Rest in peace, Lieutenant. We'll see you at the bar.

I used to watch Jerry Springer and Sally Jessie Raphael when I was 12. I was part of a IHS university group presentation about chat shows taking confession from religion and airing them to a wider audience where as religion it's between the person confessing/the figurehead/God.

Log Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 I was in college for the height of Springer's popularity. I had a communications professor who'd worked for him when he was mayor of Cincinnati. I remember someone asked him if he was a good mayor. He said something to the effect of, "Oh, yeah, he was a great mayor. But then he wrote a check to a hooker and that was all over." 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
