A quick tip ‘o the hat to Nipsey Russell, who died this past Sunday. A regular contestent on TV’s “Match Game” and other panel shows, Russell was known to recite impromptu poetry during his appearances – a feat that earned him the title “the poet laureate of television.”

So goodbye, Nipsey,
And when you reach St. Peter’s gate
Let’s hope your match is perfect
So your entry, it won’t wait.
