Leslie Nielsen

"I just want to tell you both good luck, we're all counting on you."

I Know That Face returns with an episode critics are calling "outrageously hilarious" and "side-splittingly funny" focused on all-time comedy great Leslie Nielsen. Our episode on the so-called "Olivier of spoofs" examines the performer's path from clean-cut dramatic actor in Forbidden Planet to his transition to character actor in 1972's The Poseidon Adventure before finally covering the funnies. From Airplane! to The Naked Gun franchise all the way to the 2000s spoof-heavy comedy scene, Nielsen defines not only a certain kind of comedy but the genre itself.
