    Sooooo funny!!! hide show

    I saw Herbe Edelman as Stan Zbornack on The Golden Girls countless amounts of times, and he was hilarious!!! He did one hell of a job playing a total yutz. I seriously doubt he was a yutz in real life. No, he was a great actor. It sucks that he died though. He was barely in his 60s. Too young to die! Man, his character Stan cracked me up! He said some of the funniest things! Oh my gosh! So many Stan moments! So many good laughs and smiles. I'm serious! He was so funny. Rest in peace Herb Edelman.
