Shalit’s producer recalled seeing him “late in his career, entering a theater for a screening with a look of glee on his face. “My God, how could you?” he said. “You’ve seen two million movies.” “Yeah,” Mr. Shalit replied, “but I’ve never seen this one!” 🙏🏼 #RIP www.nytimes.com/2026/06/12/a...

RIP Gene 🙏 Gene Shalit has died at 100 years old. "One of the nation’s most recognizable characters, he delivered his wacky commentary for more than 40 years on the “Today” show." #giftarticle
I’m not sure I endorse calling him a “Muppet look-alike” in the OPENING LINE of the dude’s obit.

I was just thinking about Gene Shalit the other day. Maybe he was mentioned on a podcast I was listening to... ? But it got me thinking how great he would still be on TV today. 100 years is about as full a life as one can have.
