Oh wow... I just watched him on the show Last Comic Standing a couple weeks ago, he was a guest judge and yelled at Joe Rogen(from Fear Factor) in a not so nice way-lol. He didn't look to good on the show, I wonder what happened?

Gosh, I loved the Love Bug when I was kid, actually still do.

How sad. While on vacation this past week, I was thinking about him as "The Love Bug" has just been remastered and released on DVD. Although he is gone, his gift of laughter will live on.
