Default RIP Danny Gans

I was shocked and saddened to hear that Danny Gans died today. He was only 52 years old and the guy was in incredible shape. He worked out practically every day. He was an amazing talent. He was one of the best entertainers I have ever seen. They were paying him around $15 million a year.

Here is a better article that even has some video of him for those of you who have never seen him. I see now they have his CNN interview with Larry King posted. Gans was actually a professional baseball player but he blew out his achilles tendon and had to find a new career. It's really an amazing story.

That is the rumor. Who knows if it's true or not.

Bob, Did you ever see his show? I thought the show was incredible. I always thought it was the best show in Vegas. He won entertainer of the year 11 years in a row.

For those of you that have never seen him. Watch the Larry King interview. This interview is from just 2 months ago. In the interview, not only does he do some impressions but he also sings a little bit. Larry King tells him straight out, "You are the best act I have ever seen, bar none." Coming from Larry King, that is really saying alot because King has been around forever and has seen all the greats.
