the church, the police chief and the mayor met with residents. there were clergy men, and the goal of the meeting was to bridge the gap as a tragic incident that happened last weekend bubbled over and has racial undertones to it. ferguson missouri is a predominantly african american. two-thirds are african americans, residents claim they are treated unfairly by the prodominantly white police force. al sharpton talked about transparency in naming the police officers. >> the local authorities put themselves in a position, not being transparent, where people will not trust anything but an optative having.

it's in the -- objective investigation. it's in the interests of everybody, bringing the city together that you have a pair and objective investigation. >> john, police chief tom jackson said that he would not release the name of the officer cials as you mentioned due in part to -- officer, as you mentioned, due in part to the death threats. he wouldn't release it unless compelled to do so by a judge or charges that may come into whether or not lethal force was justified. >> earlier the st louis got involved and arrived the f.a.a. to issue flight restrictions offer the area. tell us about that. >> the st louis county police det made a request. police tell us that shots were - multiple shots were fired at

police headquarters flying over the scenes, and for that reason they've asked for a restriction of aircraft not involved in relief efforts to not fly above 3,000 feet. it stays in place as police monitor the situation. and riot police queer. quas ja in missouri. michael brown's death is just the latest in a series of tragic incidents involving police. some communities know what ferguson is going through. how much do police use deadly forces. it reflects attention felt in many places between officers and those they are supposed to protect. >> reporter: from suburban st louis to new york city. to albuquerque. police accused of using

excessive force with fatal consequences. >> people say yet again one of our children executed before becoming a man. >> analysts say the case in ferguson feeds a fear in many minorities that officers target blacks. new york city promised to reform a sop and frisk. after years of abuse, new orleans is seattle have federal monitors watching their police department. >> every officer is not behaving this way. but there are circumstances where police officers see young me of colour and treat them in a disrespectful way. >> it sparked riots in ferguson. police were found to

overwhelmingly overpulling black officers, twice as likely to arrest blacks as whites, yet white people are more likely to have contraband. >> what is playing out is years if not beck aids of mis -- decades from the police department. >> ferguson police deny the charms of racism and urge patients as it vets. >> this is a very complicated investigation, as it should be. a man lost his life. we need to make sure the investigation is done right. >> it could take months. much of ferguson's police force is white and the decision not to release the name of the officer is deepening the mistrust. we hope to hear from the mayor on the broadcast. dangerous flooding is threatening major cities. more than 8 inches of rain fell in some areas around baltimore

and washington tonne. parts of i-95 had to be closed, and there was damage to homes and yards. a flash flood emergency was declared. in detroilt. two days of storms dropped more than six inches of rain. there's concern flooding it worse. bisi onile-ere reports. >> reporter: from the city to the suburbs, when the rain started coming down, it came fast and hard. parts of every major freeway in natural detroit under water. >> trust me. >> there was 14 feet of water on some freeways. thousands of drivers were stranded. >> you could be here a couple of days, you could try going up here. unless you have permission from the boss to dry though 6 feet of water, it's probably not going to happen. >> he was lucky, he backed out of the hundreds of others had to abandon their cars.

6 inches of rain dremped the area, making it the second heavies rain fall. straining the region in need of sewer upgrades, and a bankrupt city so strapped for cash that it threatened to cut off water to thousands behind in their bills. the water was so high the mib gan police sent divers to look for submerged vehicles one life was claimed, a woman dying of a cardiac east after her vehicle was stranded in three feet of rising water. flooding shut a portion of i-94 west, backing up traffic. there's a long road ahead for people like tow truck driving joe. >> it's a long day and fight. i'll be glad when it's over. >> hours later, there are signs

the water is receding. it's predicted that more rain is on the way. that's a problem. an official is it quoted as saying stormlike this are more common as the sewer system is deteriorating, not built to handle the weather. now back to the top story, the meeting in suburban st louis, regarding the shooting death of michael brown. james knowles is the mayor and joins us from near ferguson. what did you hear in the meeting tonight? >> well, i heard a lot of great things going forward. people talking about moving forward, making progress and not making it a one-night ept, but the first of many where we'll talk about steps and action items to mo forward and take the

event, making it the last death of a young man which we have seen over the united states, not just in our city. we'd like this to end, and tonight we have established that this will be the start of many conversations. >> there has been a lot of conversation about the racial make-up of your police department. 94% white. the community 67% black. is that a problem? how did it get that way is this. >> well, we are actually a little better than 94%. >> how much better are you? >> i mean, it's about 10% african american. a little less than that. we have done - we have increased the numbers many times over the past several years. as the city changed, and this is a community, a suburb which has become increasingly african american. hiring has been successful

increasing numbers. you are hard to find african americans that want to do police work. they are sought after. we are continuing. >> i find it hard to believe you call your programme successful when you have 10% that are african american. you have 67% that are african american residents. how hard can it be to find someone, an african american to work as a police officer in your town? it's not in my up to, it's in the entire country. african american officers are not a dime a dozen. it is hard to go out and get african americans. we talked about tonight the divide between young african-americans and law enforcement. you don't see young african-americans coming out in droves. we have to change that, if we

change the make up of our department. we have to get them engaged. wanting to serve the city in law enforcement. >> let me try another question. the police chief said he wants a full investigation. he has released engines about his version of the event. how can people be sure there'll be a complete having if the police chief is telling people what happened? >> the only police chief that made any comments is the police chief of st louis, the one leading the investigation. to date, they are in complete control. they are the ones releasing the information. the justice department is involved in parallel investigations. with all the eyes on the

information. i'm confident we'll see a fair investigation. >> you under the information coming from the police, that this young african american man jumped on a police officer in the car, but the investigation has not been completed, so how can he ooep say that? >> -- each say that? >> well, the only thing out there right now is the information. before that comment the only thing out there was information on social media and twitter. obviously there are eye witnesses and people who claim to be eyewitnesses from social media making claims about how the event went down. we can only assume that the chief thought it necessary to release the other account. these are just basic accounts both from eyewitnesses and now from that officer. but that is all at the discretion of the st louis county police department.

>> given what happened, would you do anything differently? >> you know what, the situation is fluid. i don't know that we have had time to monday morning quarterback. the situation is fluid and volatile. now we are assessing how things go, and i don't know that we would change anything yet, but i think that there'll be a time when we can look back and decide what we've learnt. >> i know this has been a busy time. we appreciate you joining us. thank you very much. tonight time appears to be running out for iraq's embattled prime minister. iran and saudi arabia threw their support behind the newly nominated successor, and they joined the united states and many ordinary iraqis hoped for a peaceful transition of power. >> it was a clear message from nouri al-maliki. he is still commander in chief

and he directs security forces. >> i'm scared al qaeda and the islamic state may try to make use of the counter tension on the pretext of defending me or others. you must carefully check whether convoys or armed men are law enforcement or not. there are those that will take advantage, and it will be their chance to loot and steal. be aware of those trying to do bad things. . >> while maliki and his supporters maintain the job is his to complete, most political leaders have moved on. they are welcoming the nomination of spaeber. a chance to put the country back together. >> in kurdistan. the president - we did what we could to build a new iraq based

on federalism, pluralism, inclusiveness and power sharing. if not, that may be the last chaps for iraq. >> the exiled governor, his home city of mosul, taken by over the islamic state says it's a new page for sunnis. >> it will be easy, because most of the problems that the people in our area become some of them become with i.s.i.s. because of the problems. >> what kind of problems? >> put a lot of people in the prisons. the corruption in the army. and the military. don't give any authorities to the officers. >> in the streets of baghdad. most iraqis were relieved that the political crisis might be over. >> we hope that the new prime

minister will provide us with security and stability, and all humanitarian necessities. >> not a lot to ask. after a decade of crisis for most iraqis, those things are are dream. they are hanging on the the political deadlock is not over. the iraqi politician says the nomination of a new prime minister is the guest hope for givens -- is the best hope for differences to be put aside. >> the united states is bolstering its preps in northern iraq. the pentagon says a team of 130 advisors is on the ground. defense officials say this is not a combat mission. mike viqueira reports from washington. >> four days into the bombing campaign, a surprising order from president barack obama thursday night, and now he's ordering more advisors.

there's 450 american military advisors. chuck hagel, the secretary of defense stopped at camp pendle tonne, announcing to the marines that 130 more advisors would be sent into country, marines and special operations forces. chuck hagel, and ever initial, when talking about the situation in iraq and the american role was careful to stress there would be no combat mission to american personnel. >> it follows president obama's criteria, that this is not an extension of a role for the united states other are than to find ways to assist and help advise the iraqi security forces. >> these are tactical air strikes, not meant to turn back

pt military gains on the batsle field, but to protect american lives and interest. there's an american consulate in the capital of erbil, as well as the minorities trapped on the mountainside. officials stressing this is not a military campaign, no combat troops on the ground, even as the administration announces 130 more advisos into rouk. >> there was a deadly helicopter crash in iraq. it went down after making an aid drop. the pilot was killed. the crash left others wounded. members of the yazidi fled there to escape fighters from the islamic state group. legendary film star lauren bacall died. lauren bacall was known for a sultry voice and a career that spans a decade. a quintessential new yorker leaves behind an enduring legacy

in hollywood. paul beban has more. >> movie reel: you know how to whistle, don't you steve. you just put your lips together and blow. >> reporter: an unforgettable debut for an actress whose life on clean and off would become the stuff of hollywood legend. lauren bacall was 19 when she appeared opposite humphrey bogart in "to have and have not." . >> reporter: their movie chemistry was more than an actment less than a year after bogie and backal were married until his death in 1957. later she had married jason robarts. born in 1924, the daughter of a middle class jewish family. she became a model, brought to the hollywood and groomed by fameded director howard hawks. lauren bacall was an icon, known

for her early films, paired with humphrey bogart, like "keylargo" and "the big sleep", she never stopped working. she made dozens of film and tv appearances. in her later career she was a store on broadway, winning two tony's, including one for "woman of the year." [ sings ] . >> reporter:. >> reporter: a long-time resident of the estelle romaine manville's upper west side. she represented a bygone age. >> she had this equipment essential new york after life in the second part of her career, and could be seen around town. i think the first time i saw her was in the carnegie deli ordering corn beef or something like that, years ago. that's about as new york as you

can get. lauren bacall, dead at 89. ahead, remembering robin williams. we talk to wayne brady about one of the most talented men in show business. and the israel-gaza ceasefire ends in under 24 hours. we talk to an author about the conflict seen from both sides.

a new plea in the fight against ebola from u.n. general ban ki-moon. urging leaders to send medical personnel and equipment to waf ka. more than 1800 have contracted ebola in guinea, liberia, sierra leone, and nigeria. more than 1,000 dids. a journal. student who just rirned from

free -- returned from free town. you got back yesterday. what was it like to be in free town? >> free town is interesting. everyone is afraid, justifiably. ebola has not hit free town too hard. most of the cases are run aways, fleeing medical treatment. we had doctors dying in free town. that's across the board. medical professionals are not getting the help or supplies that they need. this is freaking a lot of people out. people are taking steps to make themselves safe. there are chlorine dispensers in front of major businesses, people are wearing gloves, discouraged from shaking hands. motorcycle riding, which is a major form of public transport, has been outlawed past 7:00pm. bars and nightclubs have been

shut down. people seem in high spirits, everyone is talking about ebola, but people are hopeful. >> you have written a number of columns. the people in free town believe the media has exaggerated the story. tell us why? >> well, the quote one of my friend tole me was - we were watching c.n.n. they said "this is terrible, they are asking like we all have ebola." the main stream is reporting on the denial. it's true, that was something that helped this get off the ground. since the state of emergency was declare, since the peace corp left, and dr kahn, a leading expert in the country lost his life, it's been a wake-up call

for most people. people - the denial has gone down. it's been replaced by fear, but a cautious fear. i know that some people have been - they are worried about the perception that some broadcasters have on other people. i know the secret serum story about the biopharmaceutical drugs, used on the liberian medical perm, has been aggrav e aggravating to some people down there. they don't like it called secret serum, because it leaves the impression on less educated that america has the solution, that they are sitting on the virus, leading them to think wild conspiracy theories. >> you came back. >> it's for that reason - you came back - i was forced by my

school to leave. a couple of weeks before, me and some administrators were talking on the phone and they were "tell us why we shouldn't pull you out." i said i felt safe in free town. people were coming in from up country. we were washing our hands, wearing gloves. we said we feel confident that we'll let you stay. i had to give them daily updates, where i was eating and going. in the end it didn't matter. school administrators pulled me out. they were worried that the disease was spreading faster than it could be detained, and worried about british airlines cancelling their service and worried about others. pre-emptive measure to get me out. >> we follows your stories on facebook and interesting nahha tifs -- narratives about what is going on in free town. thank you for joining us tonight. coming up, billions left on

the table. why americans are losing out on the 401k and how you can avoid the pit falls. >> and a look at robin williams - we talk to a forehand and comedian, wayne brady.

you

this is al jazeera america. i'm john seigenthaler in new york. coming up, my conversation with an american author of palestinian descent about seeing the conflict in gaza fro both sides. and a possible brain changer for researchers - the closest they have come to mimicking brain functions in the lab. and wayne grady joins us live to talk about the robin williams he knew. israel and gaza are negotiating a long-term truce in cairo. the ceasefire expires in less than 24 hours. nick schifrin reports from jerusalem. >> the two sides are negotiating in cairo, and officials from the israeli and palestinian side say they are both dug in, not necessarily close to an agreement, but they want to make an agreement, leading them to

stay in cairo and perhaps extend the 72 hour ceasefire. the focus is on four things, the most important the rafah border crossing. between gaza and egypt. a talk, a focus by hamas on reopening the crossing. the other border crossings are on the table. hamas pushing for construction material. some of that construction material in the past has been used to build tunnels from gaza into israel. discussed in cairo expanding the ability for gaz yn fishermen to fish from 3 nautical miles off the coast to six. that's part of the israeli blockade. and number four, exchanging prisoners who have been kidnapped or prisoned with the remains of an israeli soldier killed in gaza at the beginning.

conflict. while that is happening in cairo, in gaza people are trying to grab life. people were filling the markets and returning to their damaging homes. hundreds of thousands of people have lost their homes or have damaged homes. so the restriction process which hasn't begun will be massive. and the humanitarian crisis is massive. 737,000 gazans need food assistance, one in two of all of gaza. as the diplomacy continues and they try to get to a ceasefire, the needs of the people of gaza remain high. >> nick schifrin is reporting. we spoke to an author of "looking for palestine", welcome. >> thank you. >> as an author of palestinian decent, what is it like to watch

pt stories? >> it's difficult. i'm american, i was born and raised here, my father palestinian, and my mother lebanese. it's difficult to watch. knowing that you could have been born and lived there, but were lucky enough to not. and watching people no different from anyone else suffer so much, and feel to much anguish and feel like the world is not aware, doesn't care, and is not listening, and it's hard to watch from this perspective. it's emotional for me. >> you write about growing up confused, an arab american family. confused, why. >> i grew up surrounded mostly by jewish people in manhattan.

i was palestinian. i thought i was jewish. >> you were afraid for people to know na? >> yes, i was petrified. my mum is lebanese and i spent summers in lebanon. i didn't understand what palestinian was. i knew jewish people i went to school with, and i knew israel was in a war with lebanon, and the jewish suffered the holocaust and were in a war with my people. i was scared and thought i shouldn't tell anyone where i'm fro. i was mortified and embarrassed. >> your father is a well-known palestinian intellectual. does he have hope for the future? >> he passed away 10 years ago. >> i'm sorry. >> he always had hope. he'd say the future lies with the younger generation. he often said to me that

specifically, you know, my dad was born in 1935 and left palestine and said the generations who - on both sides, that experienced the traumas of 1948 and 1967 were too connected to everything and he believed the future was with my generation and the generations after mine. >> you believed social media could bring the sides together. >> when i was a kid i was embarrassed to be associated with palestine. no one was. i think the people were unable to see what was going on really, and i think social media helped. myself, i - most of my friends and family are in other environments. because i'm connected to people who have family in gaza, i can post things on facebook, first hand accounts and pictures. my friends are starting to see. that is what i noticed.

>> as i watch the story, it seems that people are further apart. >> that is true as well. i think that one of the things that is most difficult is, for example, for me a lot of people i grew up with, a lot of people blocked me. they don't want to see my posts because they are pro-israel, which is distressing and sad. there is that idea that it's polarizing people. i feel like people are turning. the world is connected. i think that there's a lot of - in the globalized world we live in, everywhere wants to be connected to everyone else. even today, people talking about robin williams death, there's a moment of everyone's human, there's a need to go back to

that. it's not an imperial study, but i feel the shared humanity that we have lost. it's ironic because we have connected all over the world and sharing so much. at the same time there's so much disconnection and there's a need for people to really kind of reembrace other human beings, that's what i'm feeling. >> i'm glad you came to deliver the message, and i tell you i haven't heard much of it. >> i know. >> i say that as i'm happy that you delivered that message. i think it's important for all of us to hear. >> thank you. that's all i can have faith in, that's all i ever had faith in. most people when you look them in the eye, you can get somewhere. i don't know how politics works. hopefully we can start with people. >> that's a good idea. >> both sides suffered more than a month of emotional stress and

aing yip. we -- and anxiety. we spoke with a man in israel, this is israeli american journalist. >> it takes a toll on you. we keep reminding ourselves that the people of gaza have it a lot harder. the rockets are reaching tel aviv on a daily basis. it takes a toll. it happens as many times as three times a day. you have moments where you wake up. cafes are empty. the city has a sombre feel to it. they sound the alarms over the city. you run to the shelter which, in my parent's case, which is where i'm staying, they don't have one. it's an old building. people think every home in israel has a shelter. all buildings do not. they have, in the stairway, an

area that is fortified, that doesn't have many windows. that's where the neighbours congregate. they come down the stairs. they sit there, and you wait until the rockets fly up above. that's when the iron dome miss ail hits the rocket midair and you can hear it because the ground sheikhs. it's unnerving. >> this was israeli american journalist. >> here in the united states millions of americans lost track of retirement money. the accounts could add up to tens of billions. we have this report. >> reporter: estimates vary on the number of lost retirement dollars. experts agree close to 4 million 41 k were owned by lost investors. the average balance of a lot of ja act was $10,000.

>> if you do maths quickly, you come up with 30 to 50 billion. a person is lost, if an address is wrong. many times workers are to blame. lost participants or disconnected accounts are part of a dynamic that we have been trying to solve. >> many workers lose electric of 401ks. one reason, people are automatically enrolled. some don't know they exist. many do not economic checks to see what is deducted. figures show people switch jobs and may not update addresses. >> 9.5 million change jobs. >> another contributor is a

rule, sending notifications through the paper. >> we have a younger generation used to getting things electronically. a lot of people are not used to getting pieces of mail. some accounts can go untouched for years. the balance is threatened by outdated investment and mounting fees. there are so many dollars locked up no the plans. the u.s. department of labour held a hearing and in vied companies, including american airlines, honeywell, to test city about loking missing account holders. >> tonight we may know who is responsible for raising white flags over the broog line brim. the -- brooklyn bridge. the "new york times" says two dare devil general jp artists sent -- german artists send in videos. they swapped the american flags

and replaced with white flags to hop our the german man that designed the brim. it was the 145th anniversary of his death. scientists say they have modelled a physical brain that acts like the real thing. it could help them study anything from the impact of the brain. >> researchers have built what looks like a doug nut. it's six layers of a collagen gel. they have taken neurons out of rats, put them into the structure and allowed them to grow connections. >> why it is exciting, it's hard to study the brain while someone is alive. when you look at the effect on the brain, in the post traument brain injury in finding men and women, that's impossible to do while the people are alive.

it's the case with the concues ieffects of football. they had to deed their brains to science to understand what the competitive effects it has on the brain. the scientists came up with a structure that is not a complete brain, but by growing the piece they were able to sort of the neurotransmitters, certain ones that came out, that are observed to come out in animals. they are on to something. it's a functional model. if they could grow it into a larger thing, a more complete model of the brain, they could do things like attach pros thesies and see how the brain respondents, and put drugs into the fake brain and see how they move through, what you cannot do on a living brain.

the idea is to create a fake brain and study the brain without getting into the mind of a human. >> jacob ward reporting. details emerging of the robin williams death. the sheriff's officer confirming he took his own life. president obama, steve marred jip, stefan spielberg reflecting on the legacy of a comic giant. actor and comedian wayne brady appearing alongside roms ja. he joins us from los angeles. welcome. >> it's good to have you in the programme. >> what do you remember about working with robin williams. >> what i remember about him is i was telling my daughter. she is 11. she has scene the one with robin, and i was telling her before we started taping, as

soon as we say our names, he turned to me and said "you got me, right." that was one of - for a kid that grew up watching robin williams on "mork arnd mindy" and before that, briefly on "happy days", and every movie that he done. watching his improv genius, trying to follow in the steps, watching what he did, for robin williams to look at me and say "hey, you've got me, right", that was one of the best moments in my professional life. not to mention the man was one of the most sweetest talented people you ever want to meet on the face of the earth. >> we have a bit of a clip of that show with you and robin willia williams, let's take a look. >> you have to feel it, and

clarps to laugh. >> thank you very much. >> i mean, the show was incredible. when robin was on the show, how was it different? >> it was different because not to toot my open horp and the horn of ryan and colin, and the reason we brought it back is people loved "whose line" forever, and we are at the top of that improv ladder. robin williams built the ladder. so you are playing with someone who you i'd lies, who you study his moves and listen to his cadens, and the map is on stage going back and forth with you. that raised our game, it was the world series of tv for me. >> we saw what it was like on

camera. can you tell us what it was like off camera? were you able to tell him some of that? >> some people in hollywood try to be too cool to tell you if they admire you or like what you do. me, i don't live by that. i try to tell the people that i care been or admire "look, i like you." when i was a kid, i was in the hospital. i was having surgery, and it was so lonely being locked in the hospital all by myself and without my parents, and they gave me a toy to take in with me. it was a mork from ork doll action figure in the egg. that got me through the surgery i was in the hospital by myself for five, six address. and i know that i blurted all

the information out at him and he looked at me and said "i did that", we hugged and we laughed the day and i had seen him a few tiles on and off since then, and he was nothing but amazing. back stage he made us feel like we were pros. you don't get that every day. >> when you watch pt show you guys make it look seamless. it looks easy. can you explain how difficult improv is, and what you specifically learnt from somebody like robin williams about how to do it? >> well, that's a come repliment that we make it look easy. i talk to people on the street and they say "i should audition for whose line", and i say yes, try, and next week i'm going to flight the space shuttle, just because.

the fact of the matter what we do is you see the party trick version, because the boring actry studying this is done off camera. when you work with someone like robin, improv is based on yes, and, yes, that's your offer, and i'll take that and now i'll build something with you. just watching robin work and watching the hbo specials and seeing them n every show, he was open. that's the best he can be. you are open to intup saying something, someone in the audience, your partner on statement, to someone, their cell phone going off and you jump on those moments. a moment was never lost on robin williams. he had an amazing 360 perception of the stage and people and everywhere on it when he was there. i think if i learnt anything from him, that's one of my

trademarks is being ready. and i definitely learnt that from him. if we stand by we'll take a break and continue our conversation about robin williams after this. >> yes, sir.

good evening i'm meteorologist kevin corriveau. >> we are deal with a lot of rain, totals anywhere between 5-8 inches. i want to take you to baltimore. you can see the heavy rain pushing through earlier. to the south we received 7.41 inches, causing a lot of

flooding. at the airport we saw 6 and a quarter inches. where you see the red is flash flood warns, dealing with southern new jersey. across new england we are dealing with a lot of rain, anywhere from main to long island. this will continue all night long. as the rain charts push through, we are seeing heavy rain, long island. there's another ban coming through. it will not end with the first band. well see more coming through. it will continue through the morning. towards the afternoon we clear to the south. and to the north it will be wet. that's a look at your weather. the news is next.

we are continuing to discuss the life of robin williams with wayne brady, actor, singer, comedian, tv personality, improv magician, an amazing guy. when you heard about robin williams death, you tweeted that depression is real. first of all, do you think that

actors or performers are more likely to get depression than others? >> you know, not being a doctor, i can't really speak across the board, but i will say i don't know if you are a definite parliamentary type, is drawn to the field of performing, and i also think that when you are someone who let's say you have issues, you suffer from depression, that the depression and what it does to you in isolation when no one is around is at odds with what you - the face that you have to show to the public. at the end of the day the reality we know is "hey, i watch

you because you make me laugh, so i don't want to see you be sad because i'm sad in real life and had a crappy day at work, you need to make me laugh." we are conscious of that. when you carry demons, when you have pain, you an actors and comedians with a depth, but only showing a third of who they are because something is expected, so you are supposed to smile. the more you smile, sometimes the more you recept that and go hotel. it's a pretty pref leapt thing among people that have to wear that. >> what is the legacy he leaves for comedians and actors. >> i hate it when someone calls you a comedian. robin williams was not a comedian. he was every thing that you
