FRED WILLARD

Did he pull a Pee Wee Herman?

They are reporting on a local radio station that Fred Willard played Herb on WKRP in Cincinnati, when in fact it was Frank Bonner who played him. I hope they issue an apology when they discover their mistake.

[EDIT] With TMZ and other tabloids in town, what celebrity (even if he is C list or D list) would risk walking into a seedy porno theatre in Hollywood? Just the act of walking into one is enough to sway public opinions, let alone getting caught for doing something lewd while inside the theatre. While he will probably only pay a fine, his acting career is probably over.

His next movie is The Yank.

This was probably just a promotional stunt.




This joke was stolen from the IMDB message board.

I can name three famous people that were shot in the head.

Lincoln, Kennedy and the guy sitting in front of Fred Willard.

Hopefully when he goes to trial the prosecutor can get the evidence to stand up in court.

Why should the man's career be over? He was in an adult theater, doing what adults do in an adult theater. Who did he harm? People have done worse and gotten less punishment.

It HAS to be a stunt for the upcoming movie..
he's 78/ so god bless him if he can still get it up but I'm sure he is aware of the internet and/or netflix but come on now.. it's called The Yank. Great pubicity stunt; lots of media attention
wake up people / do you think police walk/patrol around in dirty movie houses looking for old men in raincoats jacking off????

R Man, you are right about the WKRP roll. My first memory of Willard was on the old Mary hartman, Mary Hartman spoof in the 70s. He played sidekick to Martin Mull's character Garth Gimble on Fernwood Tonite! I don't recall the characters name. Not sure why you'd want to that in a public situation, but to each his own, which is evedently the way he likes it.

Good Luck!

1. Except the movie is about an American in Ireland. i don't think this is the kind of exposure they're looking for.
2. Yes. i think the police patrol around dirty movie houses looking for 'vice'. That's how they got peewee.


Willard told a TMZ cameraman "It's all being straightened out".

my bad- Fred is 72.
Someone needs to get this man a den and a computer

Will make a lot of good one-liners on the late night TV shows. Best liners will be in the Vegas comedy clubs.

"So a guy walks into a porno theater...."
