Go Home Robert Goulet, 1933 - 2007

Robert Goulet, 1933 - 2007

BY JASON ZENGERLE

I noticed that no one here has noted the passing of Robert Goulet. Maybe it's kind of sad that for a good number of people--including me--his greatest legacy will be some college basketball commercials he did for a cable sports network. But when you watch the actual commercials again, you realize it's not such a bad legacy after all.

Anyone who's played themselves on The Simpsons has a solid legacy in America.

Certainly when they're game enough to be told "Your manager said to shut up!!" by Nelson Muntz.

Well once upon a time he was an actual small star who managed to keep his name out there well after his 15 minutes was up. Something to be said for a lounge singer managing to hang on that long.
