Let's say I met him quite a few times. He and Mel Brooks and Anne Bancroft were extremely close friends, obviously, and I was so happy when he married Gilda Radner. When I found out Gilda was so ill, it broke my heart, they were the happiest couple and so in love. It was such a heartbreaking story.

Nicoletta, I didn't see the Fallon show but I did see snippets of it and I'm pretty sure Mel talked about Gene's death. Something about he knew he was very ill but now that he's gone, its going to be hard not to talk to him.
