Tee Hee: Fred Willard Lends a Hand (or Two) in Theatre Ad
Like Franklin Avenue, we also had a chuckle when we saw a couple of Tweeted photos from Angelenos who got the latest L.A. Theatre Works mailer. Why? Well, in a bit of (im)perfect timing, the theatre company's ad shows actor Fred Willard grinning and holding up his two hands.
Lest you've forgotten, back when the LAPD were more concerned with people self-servicing in adult movie theatres (as opposed to, say, people shooting up midnight screenings of blockbuster action releases) they nabbed Willard in Hollywood. That night, however, unlike in this mailer, Willard's hands weren't exactly being held up in the air. Ahem.
Willard was busted for lewd conduct at the Tiki Theater, but claims not only is he "not guilty" but also that the movie was "lousy." While Willard lost his gig at PBS immediately after the arrest, it's nice to see L.A. Theatre Works didn't do any yanking of their own when it came to this mailer.
I guess they went to press a while ago on this mailer. http://t.co/Li402n4J

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
