Peter Boyle died Tuesday in NYC at age 71;

He has quite a list of credits, including a movie called "Joe", a Working Stiff, who was a bigot & not in the funny sense of Archie Bunker;

But, there was a Summer Replacement Series on CBS in the Late 1960s, called "Comedy Tonight", which introduced us to Madeline Kahn(Born in MA, raised in Queens) & Robert Klein. Peter was a member of that Ensemble Cast;

We all remember Peter in "Young Frankenstein" as the Monster, in that Mel Brooks Comedy;
