I had no idea he was almost my father's age. I think of him as being perpetually 60.

Loved him in Best of Show ..got caught pulling his goalie at an adult movie theater. Here was his interview on the Tonight show
Fallon: Well, the movie you went to see… was it The Firm?

Willard: No.

Fallon: Was it Free Willy?

Willard: No.

Fallon: Was it Anaconda?

Willard: No — sadly, it was Get Shorty.

Fallon: But I think at the end of that movie, someone gets whacked.

Hey-o! But with the jokes out of the way, Willard made sure to get serious and offer up an explanation for the public.

“It’s very embarrassing,” he admitted. “It’s embarrassing as hell! But let me say this: nothing happened. I did nothing wrong, everything’s being sorted out as we speak.”

“I have great respect for the authorities,” he continued. “I mean, when we need a policeman, God bless ’em, they’re there. But, if you’re in the wrong place at the wrong time, everything seems suspicious.”

“But it’s very embarrassing,” he reiterated. “Very painful. And I’m trying to laugh it off. But my summary of the evening is that it’s an interesting theater, boring movie, and a great place to take a nap.”

A Mighty Wind is like the Family Guy joke about Sports Night: "it's the comedy that's too good to be funny." It definitely takes a while to get going, but then out of nowhere, THIS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xHPzEERuGA

If you have ever been involved with youth baseball/softball, give ‘All Stars’ a watch.
