We've just learned that Dom DeLuise -- who starred in such classics as "The Cannonball Run" and "Spaceballs" -- died last night in a Los Angeles hospital.

We're told he passed away peacefully in his sleep at around 6 PM.

He was 75.

Story developing...

[KatPw]

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!! That really sucks.

[burrben]

no! i dont believe you. ill have to hear it from wampuscrandle to really believe it.

[Suspect Chin]

Unbelievable. I just listened to the old show yesterday where ESD talks about trying out to be an ESPN commentator and uses the line: "Somewhere Dom Deluise is smiling, that was a Canonball Run!" To describe a touchdown run. I'm sure someone can post the link to the proper show file.

[pennington]

That's too bad. I've been a fan since he was a regular on the Dean Martin show. Considering the shape he was in, 75 is a good run.

Farewell

[Death Metal Moe]

I always liked that guy. I think it was watching those Cannonball Run movies. That was the 1st time I saw something like the end of the movie bloopers with him and Burt Reynolds. They were just having so much honest fun it really stuck with me.

It wasnt until these Carson clips started showing up on the net that I realized how good Dom was at being funny on the fly too.

That's how I am with Tim Conway (http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=tim+conway&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=E2AASoX8GM2JtgfE8tyXBw&sa=X&oi=video_result_group&resnum=4&ct=title#). Do we have anyone like these gems nowadays? Shame

Always loved Conway, The Carol Burnett show lit up when he was on stage. I used to sit through those "Mama" skits just to see him. Then FINALLY Tim and Harvey Korman would get on stage and it would be magic.

But it's a different time now. I wish there was more comedy like this but it wouldn't fly today. It's sad that the shit the TV networks crap out for us these days is considered funny, but that's the way it is. There's no real room for this kind of writing and this kind of show anymore. People's attention spans couldn't take it.

That's funny. I always used the "The chef that looks like Dom DeLuise" line when trying to explain to people who Paul Prudhomme was.

Peter Deluise has a very good career as a director of television shows. Most notably Stargate.

[KingModem]

Hilarious. i was just thinking the same thing..

One of the other sons is the father on one of the big disney channel shows. The one with Selena Roberts.

[underdog]

Captain Lou Albano was the best.

The Wizards of Waverly Place.
He also directs some of their other shows.

[drusilla]

:glurps:

[King Imp]

This is sad, but in all honesty I thought he was dead already.

For someone as popular as he was, you never heard anything about him anymore, so I assumed he passed a while ago.

Anyway, godspeed Captain Chaos.

Are you kidding..he got a second career with cookbooks and seasonings.

[hammersavage]

I'm just gonna sit here and laugh uncontrollably during the credits......like he would have wanted

[ChrisTheCop]

Somewhere, Burt Reynolds is weeping.:glurps:

n a statement, Reynolds said he was "dreading" this news.

"Dom always made everyone feel better when he was around," Reynolds said. "I never heard him say an unkind word about anyone. I will miss him very much."

A clear favorite of Reynolds, with whom he worked in several films and TV shows, DeLuise also was something of a good-luck charm for Mel Brooks, appearing in the director's Blazing Saddles, Spaceballs and more.

Outside of film, DeLuise wrote cookbooks, lent his voice to several cartoon shows and, with his longtime wife, headed an acting clan, which includes sons David DeLuise (Wizards of Waverly Place) and Peter DeLuise (21 Jump Street)

He should be buried in a treasure bath.

[jessicaduh]

was he Herod? i had no idea.

[Freitag]

Are you kidding..he got a second career with cookbooks and seasonings.

Were you going for the Prudhomme joke? I'm not sure.

[Justice4all]

What a shame. He left us with some hard-to-match funny movie moments.
And yea, at his weight it's amazing he made it to 75. There will be alot of old-school hollywood stars at this wake/funeral, you can bet on that.

[badorties]

a lot of places have 'blazing saddles' as his lead credit -- wasn't he in the movie just for a few minutes (if even a minute) towards the end ...?

[King Imp]

Are you kidding..he got a second career with cookbooks and seasonings.

Were you going for the Prudhomme joke? I'm not sure.

I thought he might have been until I looked it up and saw that Dom also wrote cookbooks.

Why anyone would think he was well known for that aspect of his life is beyond me.

[thepaulo]

I've met hundreds of celebrities. He was the nicest.
