Mr. Monday is old school. The death of Robert Goulet was a tough one. He was one of the last of a dying breed (literally!), the great all-around entertainer. He could act, sing, dance, tell a joke and get the crowd on its feet.
Aren’t many of those 5-tool entertainers left.
So here’s Mr. Monday’s list of the top 5 all-around best entertainers in the world.
5. Shaq. The Big Aristotle is just remembered for Kazaam! But doesn’t everyone remember his turn in Blue Chips? Plus his time as a rapper with Fu Schnickens? Add to that his athletic skillz and law-enforcement abilities and the Diesel is in the first class.
4. Kermit the Frog. Hosted his own show, guest-hosted The Tonight Show and Nightline. Digs on swine.
3. Jerry Lewis. Sure, there’s the telethon. But don’t forget he directed and starred in most of his big hits. Then there’s “The Day the Clown Died.” Doesn’t dig on swine.
2. Snopp Dogg. Can be funny, can be dramatic, can be the pilot on Soul Plane. Does the D-O-G-G belong on this list? Fo Schizzle.
1. Alec Baldwin. He’s so good, he hurts my mind grapes.
