Goulet, and goodnight.
I'm sorry if I'm the first to tell you that Robert Goulet has died at age 73 in a tragic wakeboarding accident. One fact in that sentence is wrong. I'll let you pick.
I've said in this space before how much I like Goulet, not only for his Red Sox fandom (he sang the national anthem on opening day this year) but for this hilarious nut ad.
What's a shame is that my enduring memory of Robert Goulet isn't even of Robert Goulet, but of Will Ferrell making fun of Robert Goulet. For posterity's sake, I post it here.

Not a fan. I paid some of the few precious dollars I had in college to see him as Arthur in Camelot at the Wang, and he was stumbling-off-the-stage drunk. That is acceptable only in Act II.
Don't forget his memorable appearance on "The Simpsons".
Jingle bells, Batman smells,
Robin laid an egg;
The Batmobile lost its wheel,
And the Joker got away!
I will always fondly remember Goo-lay as the guest who would never leave during my stint on the FOX25 Morning News, when the show was in its infancy. He was interviewed for about 4 minutes...next thing I knew he was on the anchor desk for 10. Awesome.
