Nipsey Russell: R.I.P.
by Keith Phipps
October 4th, 2005
Take a moment to remember Nipsey Russell, actor, comedian, game and variety show fixture and the poet laureate of television. To help, here's a poem I've, for some unfathomable reason, never forgotten. It was recited by Russell on some show I can't remember circa the release of the movie Splash.
I can't figure out why
They're not enough woman to make love to
And not enough fish to fry.
Godspeed, Mr. Russell.
