Another comic great has left us. Dom Deluise, 75, reportedly died last night at a Los Angeles area hospital. "One of the truly funniest comics, EVER!!! "His brand of humor will be greatly missed," an LAist reader wrote in an e-mail this morning. "I'm actually a thin, serious person, but I play fat and funny, but only for the movies," DeLuise once joked about himself. His death follows last week's loss of Vegas performer Danny Gans.

Such a bummer :(
Oh geez, how incredibly sad. One of the best days of my life was when Dom DeLuise and Ronny Graham (who played Mr. Dirt in the 70's Mobil TV commercials) joined me for lunch at the Fox studio cafeteria. I've never laughed so hard for for so long. Mr. DeLuise was gracious, self-deprecating, and the best kind of "star" Hollywood could have. A truly wonderful person. He'll be missed.
He was funny and always a good sport. From The Tonight Show:

Oh man, SNL with Dana Carvey doing the old Carson Tonight Show with Farley doing the Dom.... it was a beautiful time for all of us.
One day I was shopping in Westwood and I asked a stranger what he thought about a tablecloth (because I am one of those people who talks to strangers in public). We spent a least 20 minutes chatting while he helped me pick out linens. It wasn't until we got up to the cashier that I realized it was Dom DeLuise. Talk about a down-to-earth celebrity.
