Alan King, the comedian who made a stand-up career out of complaining about everyday life, ironically can't comment on his latest experience. King passed away on Saturday from lung cancer at the age of 76. King, who began on the Catskill comedy circuit, successfully built a career that included acting, producing, directing, and writing, but thanks to Comedy Central he was most widely and recently known as the Abbott of the Friars Club. Still, I'll always remember him from the Courtroom Waller scene from "Memories of Me."
