RIP: Joey Bishop

Upon reaching the pearly gates of Heaven, Joey Bishop groused to the big bouncer in the sky that he was, "Told to be here."

Joey Bishop has passed away at 89.

Joey hasn't performed in years nor shown his face at the fights held at the Irvine Marriott, but the world was just a better place with him around, as one of the last links to the Rat Pack. An era when entertainers were, well, entertaining.
