Titled "Last Ones Standing" You wonder what the Drummond penthouse is like to visit now in the DS universe given only Willis and Sam would be there (according to the cameo in the final ep of TFPOBA, Arnold Jackson was pushing thirty and still living with his adopted father). By "now", Willis would have inherited ownership of his dad's company (which may still own the radio station in Hello, Larry! brought about by that DS/HL crossover storyline, as many stations in the real world are still owned by the same company as decades earlier or a direct descendent). 2 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/136372-milestone-moments-all-the-celebrity-vitals/page/78/#findComment-8562771

I don’t know if he knew he was dying when he made it, but kudos to him for getting the last say in coming out. Literally. I heard about that and want to see it too. I mean as a kid who was a big fan, any suggestions of him being gay would have gone right over my head. But looking back now the Playhouse Christmas Special had k.d. Lang, Little Richard, Cher and Joan Rivers as guest stars. And regular episodes had Tito, the jacked, shirtless lifeguard. It couldn't have been more obvious. Although coming out as gay in the 80's would have probably been a career killer, especially once he started doing a kids show. I read somewhere once that he was also a heavy smoker and during the 80's he had someone on staff to make sure he was never smoking when kids were around or when there were photographers, because he thought that would hurt his image with the kids. I can imagine he would have felt the same about his sexuality.

Vermicious Knid 4 hours ago Share 4 hours ago Former MTV VJ and Radio Host Matt Pinfield Suffers Massive Stroke Quote According to TMZ, the former Columbia Records executive and radio show host suffered a stroke on Jan. 6 after enduring various health struggles over the years. The 63-year-old is now apparently incompetent, and his daughter Jessica filed for conservatorship to manage his health and financial decisions over concerns that his girlfriend will withdraw his money. I remember he always had these wild, over the top stories about rock stars.
