RIP Dom DeLuise

[Xerus]

I really liked Dom's performance as Kossalagoopagoop or Koosy on Dexter's Lab. He was Dee Dee's imaginary friend just like Mr. Snuffleupagus. There was one scene where Koosy was cooking a giant burrito filled with meat. I believe that was a tribute to Dom who is also a good cook.

Thanks for posting that voice focus, Xerus. I was just about to request one.

In that particular episode of Ren and Stimpy (Aloha Hoek), he played a spot on parody of Marlin Brando. I never heard him do a Brando impersonation before. And on Duck Dodgers, he played a mobster with long time co-star Burt Reynolds (they need to put that series on DVD... really they do).

Oh your welcome, Dr. Tooth. Dom is another great voiceman who will always be remembered.

Oddly enough, my first exposure to Dom was when he served as the host of a documentary on Laurel and Hardy. He's also participated in Marx Brothers tributes. Interesting how he seemed to become the go-to guy for celebrating comic legends. I think it's because he had the ability to be funny, yet an ordinary guy at the same time. Just like in The Muppet Movie, he's funny but also the straight man to Kermit's puns.

I absolutely loved Dom DeLuise...how sad!

Yeah, it really sucks he passed.

It's sad that he passed away. I read about it on the shownotes on the Mother's day episode of the Muppetcast recently. I loved his voice and his humor as well as his work with the Muppets.

RIP Dom

His death hasn't really hit me completely yet. He's been around so long, since I was growing up, it's hard to imagine life without Dom. He was a very versatile actor, chef & had a beautiful and generous heart. He will be missed greatly.

R.I.P. Dom.
