This has definitely been a major shocker since he was tweeting only two days before his death. Making light of the third presidential debate, he wrote, “Some last-minute advice for Hillary: Light your hair on fire! Be crazy and tell him “he’s fired” Hit him in the face with a pie!#debate.” Kevin will certainly leave behind a legacy, especially being remembered for his iconic catchphrase “That’s Not Right!” Stars and those close to him have already written their condolences and shared their fond memories with the late comedian, many of those addressing his amazing skills.
HollywoodLifers, please keep Kevin’s loved ones in your thoughts during this tough time.
