  1. I started coming to Las Vegas in 1985 and instantly fell in love with the campy, cheezy, downright laugh till your sides ached funny of Breck Wall and his Bottom's Up crew.

    I can see how Rowan and Martin were so energized by Breck and the lightening fast blackouts, and after watching many years of Laugh In how R&M Laugh In was just a weak copy of this all you can eat Las Vegas buffet of crazy.

    I can't imagine that he left us. He seemed so eternally youthful. As they say he succomed to the depths of Alzheimer's. How this horrible syndrome erodes a great mind such as his is a tragedy indeed.

    If they have an afternoon show in heaven, you just have to know that Breck is up there, and the sky is roaring with laughter. God bless.

    Ricky Schultz and Family.
