Agent 86’ed

(An epitaphany shared by Monty, James and your somewhat genial death meister)

Or
Go, Go Gadget Embalmer
(Props to Monty)

Or
Sorry About that, Chief
(More kudos for Monty)

Tennessee Tuxedo Will Not Fail – Unlike Don Adams’ Heart
(We’re not actually sure Monty works during the day)
Don Adams, wacky TV secret agent to two generations, has died at the age of 82. He will be buried at Arlington National Cemetary in a military funeral with full honors. Would you believe a state funeral? Would you believe being buried next to Murray the hamster in his sister's backyard? (Extended riff courtesy of James) Adams was the perfect bumbling CONTROL super spy Maxwell Smart, aka Agent 86, on the James Bond parody Get Smart, forever foiling Siegfried and KAOS despite himself. Adams helped make the show a hit, scoring two Emmys as best comedy, while Adams was thrice honored as best comedy actor. A 1995 reprise featured Max as the Chief with his son Zach played by Andy Dick. It lasted 7 wince-inducing episodes. Adams’ clipped deadpan delivery, the product of a military stint as a drill instructor, was already well known as the voice of Tennessee Tuxedo, and would return in a cartoon variation of Get Smart, Inspector Gadget. He also voiced Comet in an uncredited cameo in Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer and played Howard Bannister in the syndicated sitcom Check it Out.

With just two months left, Monty scores a solo hit, and has his hopes pinned on Bruce Bennett, so he won’t miss it by that much. For now, he does pull into second place with 6 hits.
