Nice tribute. And a big score for the Italians!

So many memorable moments from his great show, funny, informative and poignant.

I think you'd have really loved working for/with him.

Do you recall the day he announced Woodrow's death? It was hard not to tear up seeing Simon sitting there forlornly holding his beloved dog's collar...

And how that was the only time he didn't end the show with the words, 'The World really is a wonderful place...'

On a more humorous note, apparently before the title song was written, it opened with the song "Afternoon Delight" -- until somebody pointed out to Simon that it referred to a very adult pastime.
