* Marty Krofft, producer of ‘H.R. Pufnstuf,’ and ‘Land of the Lost,’ has died at 86. He was mentioned in a host segment for 411- THE MAGIC SWORD.
* Henry Kissinger, controversial secretary of state and presidential adviser, has died at age 100. He was mentioned in host segments in episodes 503- SWAMP DIAMONDS and 822- OVERDRAWN AT THE MEMORY BANK.
Sad about Marty Krofft.
Dancing about Kissinger. About damned time. To quote a MST3K fan over on Reddit:
““Whoa! Almost ran over Kissinger… gonna have to go back!” [“Last Clear Chance” short]
Guess he finally went back for him. Good riddance.”

“Henry?”
“Yeah, we named him after Henry Kissinger because of his scowl.”
Anyway, good riddance.
