Oh I'm going to miss him a lot. I really loved his show and I would crack up every time he would say..."America" and then go on talking.
I know how bad he must have been. I have had pneumonia 4 times (once every year for the past 4 years) and it's no fun. You are so out of it for months even after you start to feel better. All you want to do is sleep and your chest is hurting so bad with the coughing and high fever.
Bernie will be truly missed he was a good man and a funny one to boot.
