Me: Thanks for agreeing to speak with me so quickly after your demise.

Ed: Happy to be here, ha ha ha ha!

Me: So, you hosted The Price is Right for how many years?

Ed: Wha? That wasn't me, kid. That was Bob Barker.

Me: Oh. Are you the Wendy's guy?

Ed: No, that's Dave Thomas!

Me: That older man from Golden Girls?

Ed: No, that was Bea Arthur.

Me: The guy who sells oatmeal and was in Cocoon?

Ed: Nope. Wilford Brimley.

Me: The salad dressing dude?

Ed: Paul Newman.

Me: The guy who said that smoking was bad?

Ed: C. Everett Koop.

Me: Chicken man?

Me: Died for our sins?

Ed: Jesus

Me: Electric flying guy?
