I just finished the book, Leisureville, about life in TV. Is Mr. Midnight a real person?

[gocubsgo]

I sure hope not!!

[graciegirl]

I think maybe he was real....but all that late night activity and all those blue pills, you have to believe the rumor from several undocumented sources that he has since moved on to the village of heavenly, just simply from overdoing it.



The undertaker could not get the smile off his face.

Some peope have been lookng for him for years.

Life In The Villages Fl: HEY Mr. Midnight, I'm looking for you.

� KunstlerCast #146: Geritopia The KunstlerCast

The author, Andrew Blechman, is interviewed and describes Mr. Midnight. I think he slips and refers to him as Joe at some point. If I recall correctly Liesureville was published in 2008. Andrew refers to Mr. M as being in his early to mid sixties at the time he met him which would make him about 70 today. Reputedly he was a biology teacher from a midwestern state, I forget which one. Of course that could all have been dressing to hide the guy's real identity.


On my 2011 visit some construction worker hanging out at Katie belle's claimed he was Mr. M but he was in his late fifties and had no class. The manner in which he approached women was aggressive and a bit crude, very different than Mr. M's technique as described by Blechman.

IRL I know a few Mr. Midnights. They do exist.

Whoa, did he really? I'm thinking we need an Official replacement MM, he is such a legend. He can march in parades and attend grand openings.

I had this discussion with a friend who has lived in T.V. since before LSL opened and he told me that Mr. Midnight in fact does (did) exist and that he knows him.

Since this friend is a straight shooter on all other matters, I believe him!!!

[gocubsgo]

Maybe he can do Grand Openings at all the new Walgreens going up! Appropriate...

From Blechman's description Mr. M probably resembles George Clooney.

[Taltarzac725]

I thought he called his smaller head "Mr. Midnight" and had a playboy rabbit symbol featured on his driveway?
