WATCHED THE SECOND CITY WHITEWASH
The PBS channel showed the Second City documentary, a two parter, revealing the heavy handed way Second City now makes Del appear.
He doesn't.
In fact, half of the content of both episodes skips over the Belushi and Del years and instead promotes Canadian SCTV- a concept that Del had come up with according to Bernie Sahlins at the time of Del's death. He was never paid for it, nor did his name ever appear in the credits.
To avoid mentioning him they don't discuss ANY of the people that have taught at Second City. In fact, little is said about the classes at Second City in any medium.
Del only had two requests. He wanted his improv style used for more than comedy. He wanted his skull given to The Goodman to be used in plays.
Nothing he wanted was delivered. The skull at the Goodman is not his. The Harold is now used as a comedy training device.
They aren't just erasing my years with him, now they are erasing him.
The IO ( aka Improv Olympic, which wouldn't exist without him) even has a show up ATTILA attacking him.
Dear readers I promise you here this nonsense will not be tolerated.
