Happy Days Are Here Again!

Good to see The Red Man dust off his sarcastic wit and post something that he considered a "pre-emptive" strike towards me, your fearless Doctor. In the words of the philosopher Lee Corso (seen during the Fall on ESPN's College Game Day), "Not so fast my friend." I don't think Red will see this blog post coming. Heck, until ten minutes ago, neither did I.

I was perusing through a couple of TV show websites this weekend, and saw a picture that quickly reminded me of TRM, and once I read a few things about this particular person, I realized that there are some striking similarities between him and Red.

And so...allow me to introduce...the closest thing to seeing The Red Man on TV....

Donny Most!

The similarities extend beyond the red mop everyone. Let me know what you think and you tell me if I'm way off base in thinking that these two are joined at the comedic hip.

Donny (or Don as he prefers these days) was a supporting character on a successful 70's TV show. Red Man is a supporting writer on a successful blog.

Most was born in the Flatbush section of New York City. Red Man was born on the mean streets of Jericho, Long Island.

Most has the TV movie "The Jolson Story" memorized and has credited that movie for sparking the acting bug that existed within him. Red Man has every line of the Dell computer catalog memorized, and has said repeatedly that it encouraged him to go into computers (well that, and he figured he'd get a discount on the latest EA Sports games).

Most graduated from the same high school that Barbra Streisand and Eli Wallach did. Red Man graduated from the same high school that Sam Wolf and "His Buddy Dave From Long Island" graduated from.

Most appeared on an episode of "Family Guy" and on "Star Trek" which are Red Man's favorite shows.

Both guys are male, Jewish, and straight.

To put this in proper perspective, if Z is the Fonz (all about the sideburns), R-Lo is Potsie , and I'm Richie, then it only makes sense that the Red Man be the wise-cracking buddy, Ralph Malph. In fact, "TRM" could now stand for, "The Ralph Malph." Something to ponder.

Here's a old commercial with Robby Benson and TRM, pimping Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.
