There are a few people that are aware of this, but Al Lewis, was also involved in work with the NBA in his younger years and for a while was a scout for several teams before continuing on as an actor.

I recall that Al was a semi-regular guest when Howard Stern first started making waves, & saw a clip of them together with Grandpa Munster screaming "F--- the FCC!" with Howard desparately trying to restrain him...

Another one we have to try and replace.

He's probably looking for Toody and Muldoon.

I remember his many visits to the show. Howard loved Al!

R.I.P. Grandpa!
