So today has been a rough one: we lost Dom DeLuise today. And this is rough one for me, because some of my favorite movie moments growing up were thanks to Dom. Like for example, History of the World, Part I. “WASH THIS” is one of my favorite things to yell out at random.

Ken took it hard too. He was lucky enough to get to talk to Dom and had a great time doing so. Check out his conversation with Dom here.
My favorite Dom role after the break, at least in outtakes:
Sadly there’s no “HELLO J.J.!” in this (and I couldn’t find one online at the moment–he comes close here). That was probably my favorite Dom line ever. But here are these ridiculously funny Cannonball Run ending credit outtakes:

It certainly was a living. Thanks for everything, Dom. I miss you already.
I have no idea how Mr. DeLuise got away with ‘it’ but he did and did so with style and vast comedic repose.
