Cemeteries are interesting history. Just got back from Macon Georgia and visited the graves of the Allman Brothers Band. Highly recommend it. It was an unkept cemetery. Vines and weeds everywhere with tons of soldiers buried there from the civil war. Thanks for getting me interested in visting these. Keep the content coming!
I had met Ed Asner twice in my life in the 90s when I was working for the Henry Ford, a state and years later when I was working at my store here in Kansas. He came by after his brother died in 2017. He did remember me when I asked him about meeting me before. Which surprised me and like you said, he was a very humble guy and very nice to me.
Thanks for another interesting snippet of history. We watched the Mary Tyler Moore show all the time. Although I grew up just a few blocks away from this cemetery, I have never visited it. It was in great disrepair for several years before someone went in and cleaned it up. Thanks again.
Our family watched The Mary Tyler Moore Show as much as we could. I really enjoyed it and Ed's character "Lou Grant" was my favorite on that show. Now I know allot more about him. Excellent video!
I was just thinking of one of the funniest lines from the Mary Tyler Moore Show's episode, "Chuckles Bites the Dust". Lou Grant said, "I don't want anybody to make any fuss. When I go, I just want to be stood outside in the garbage with my hat on." Thanks for this tribute, Jeff!
He was a great man and a great actor i got his autograph a few years ago he was such a kind man and he will always be remembered and missed rest in peace mr ed asner
Interesting career, and life he lived. His political views are not the same as mine, but he was a great actor. Thank you for sharing. Take care Jeff. 🇺🇲
Another wunnerful vlog! My late Auntie Gloria (the film/TV actress) appeared w/ him on the pilot episode of the short-lived albeit acclaimed television series "Mr. Novak" (this @ a time when she was the better known). I'm clinically-diagnosed as ASD myself, so it's far more common out there than we realize.
All these places are full of life. Everyone has a story to tell. Thanks for another great episode Jeff. PS let Sarah know although she doesn't like the camera, she's a part of the channel. We miss seeing her. I know she's not into the history thing like us.
Thx Jeff! Enjoy your channel and although short this was a good watch! Although living most of my life in SF Bay Area I was born in Minneapolis and had a relative that lived a short walk from where the house used as the backdrop for the Mary Tyler Moore and Rhoda shows. I remember standing with family along with a crowd once when they were doing some filming outside the home. The house is still a popular tourist destination for drive by photos. Mr.Asner was a fantastic actor and a good man IMO although I didn’t agree with a lot of his personal views. Ran into him once in Carmel and he was friendly and nice.
Last year I watched all the episodes of The Mary Tyler Moore show. Ed also appeared in couple episodes of Grace and Frankie and Dead to me. What an amazing Actor. RIP Mr Anser.
I was born in Kansas City Ks and spent my early childhood there. I remember my grandmother on my mom's side went to Wyandotte High School. I don't think she knew Mr. Asner but it is cool to think they passed through the same halls.
I live in Kansas City Kansas and in the bordering neighborhood where Ed Asner grew up. Sadly, that street and area is very run down these days, but you can tell it used to be a very good neighborhood. I believe Ed Asner grew on or just off of Quindaro Blvd. I know he attended Wyandotte High School, which is maybe 3-minute drive from me. This area of Kansas City, Kansas is one of the oldest parts of the Kansas City Metro area. In fact, I live in an old elementary school that was built in 1898 but turned into lofts 14 years ago. I loved his voice acting in UP!. BTW, that Cemetery he is buried in, which I didn't know, is a very haunting on cold fall and winter days. It's almost as all color vanishes and everything is in black and white. I sometimes go on photo-safaris around Kansas City and have photographed that cemetery and part of Kansas City a handful of times. That area of town is very poor and run down. That cemetery is off of Independence Ave. Lot of homeless and prostitutes.
Jeff Very interesting story about Ed Asner, I really liked his style of acting. Speaking of Mary Tyler Moore, I was in New York City and was going to attend the David Letterman show and they ran out of seats about 25 before I got in. So the next best thing was go around to the side street and the back entrance to the stage. Who drives up but Mary Tyler Moore and when she go out I talked to her for a moment, took a few photos and she signed the Letterman ticket I never got to use LOL Thanks Jeff for another interesting story and I would have never figured Ed Asner would be buried in Kansas City.
When this video first started i knew you took me back in time i watched all that :) I spent many hours enjoying him Thankyou jeff for such a lovely video You make me feel old sometimes :)
Hi Jeff and Sarah thank you for another great video. We watched the movie the Christmas card with Ed Asner every Christmas. very good movie looking forward to next Sunday history lesson. Please say hi to Sarah from your loyal viewers in Mt Shasta Love and blessings Larry and June and Laurie
Long ago I used to watch old reruns of the MTM show and it was very revolutionary for TV for its time. I think I like Ed even more knowing about his views and his support for the downtrodden in our society. Thanks for another great episode.
Loved his acting. I watched the Mary Tyler Moore show and The Lou Grant show and enjoyed both. I didn't care for his politics and I'm glad that didn't come through in his acting. May he rest in peace!
Near the beginning of the year you posted a video and you were talking about how as a Kid, you would write a letter to celebrities and ask for an autograph. That made me think and wonder if that still worked today so I decided to write to the publicist company of Carol Burnett. I wrote a handwritten letter to Carol, and included a large self-addressed stamped envelope, and also threw in a 5-dollar bill in case they needed to add anymore postage. And since her 90th birthday was approaching, I purchased a really lovely Birthday card from Cracker Barrel (the kind you put on a shelf that stands up) with butterflies on it and said a prayer that it would work. And low and behold a couple of months later I get signed black and white 8x10's, one for myself and one made out to my granddaughter Daisy Mae. I had remembered watching an old video interview of Carol, where she said she wrote a letter to a star when she was young and she said "people just don't do that anymore". So I took the chance and wanted to send her a Birthday greeting and thank her for the many years of clean good fun and laughter and told her when my Granddaughter gets a little older and comes to stay a few days with me, I wanted to play her shows for her. I guess she liked that, so she added one 'signed' for her as well. From the signature I can tell it came from a much younger hand than a 90 year old, but that's not the important part. What is important is that I got to send a beautiful Birthday card with a handwritten letter to someone who I had always looked up to and still do. It may just be worth a cup of coffee to someone else, but it's worth a million bucks to me because I made a connection to someone who may not have that many more birthdays. Just thought I'd share. Thanks for all that you do and for inspiring us in ways you could never imagine.
“You’ve got spunk,” said to Mary Richards. “I hate spunk.” Didn’t agree with his politics exactly, but he was regarded as a very kind man, and that means a lot. RIP Ed.
Thanx for episode. Did not agree with his politics - that being said - he was a great actor and I enjoyed watching him. Looking forward to your next video.
I met Ed's brother Labe, however I did not know his name other than Asner. He operated ASNER scrap metal yard on James street in Kansas City "west bottoms". Very kind, reserved and laid back guy. I had bought metal from him for projects a few times and along the way asked if his brother was Ed. Later I asked him "so, you guys have lunch in hollywood sometimes, and here at the scrap yard other times?" He said "Sure do, we are brothers" He was a great guy! This was in like 2011 or so.
I did not really notice a strong "look alike" factor, but I had not seen what Ed looked like for many years, and Labe was pretty old in 2011. Labe was always very friendly.@@jbenziggy
I just started watching your clips on CZcams. It's totally interesting. I'm wondering if you'd do an episode on the Preston Castle in Ione? That place has a lot of history.
This was so interesting, Jeff. Underneath that talented, gruff exterior, was a compassionate, bighearted person. Once in awhile, it would slip through on the MTM show... as we saw in the clip, from the final episode of the show. That certainly is a good-sized, family plot.🙏🏻❤️🩹🪦
Time to sit back with Guinness in hand and cereal in bowl. 😂. I was born in Sept of 71’ so Mr Asner was a lil before my time. Still have memories of my Mom watching their show though. God bless him for putting smiles on my moms face. It was the suckey shows in which she’d beat us with broom handles. Not Mr Asner though. Thank you for the healing process. 😂
He played the bad guy in a john wayne movie that I remember, And that was a couple of years Before the Mary Tyler Moore show. Apparently John Wayne didn't care for Him being picked for that role Because at the time he was a New York stage actor. Asner said Every day before shooting, Wayne would come out and holler "Where's that New York stage actor at"? 😅
Loved the characters he portrayed. Political views, well... Thanks for another well produced episode.👍🏼 How did you get away with playing "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" theme song(to the length you did)? I liked that.
Interesting for lou, I call him lou it seems the name lou fits him better, I did like his spin off show it was pretty good. I always loved the MTM song you're gonna make it after all, iconic show and song. he was also in the John wayne movie El dorado. played a bad dude. I never knew hew was pretty close by at the kansas city cemetary, thankyou for covering this jeff. And putting in the hard work. I always enjoy your efforts. Take care and God bless.
He had a home for years at Shaver Lake, CA. One of a few celebrities which had mountain homes in the area. Rock Hudson also had a mountain home there which he referred to as his hunting cabin. Not sure what he was hunting.
Jeff, you should check out the recently surfaced news footage of themed Director Norman Jewison Like holy crap he still alive he’s 97 years old ! He had a small cinema TIFF I believe, dedicated in his name
Remember him from the Mary Tyler Moore show, great talent. RIP Ed. Nice he is buried with all his family in his home state.
Never was a big fan. But loved Mary Tyler Moore. Thanks Jeff!
What a wonderful man! I’ve forgotten how many different roles he portrayed. Thank you for sharing!!!
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching!

Wow! Isn't it cool to say you met a TV icon? I loved seeing Slim Pickens, Ben Johnson, Tom Selleck and many others!
@@jbenziggy I met Tom Selleck Jeff in the 1990s. He was a nice person.
A kind and endearing man.
He was a great person as well as a great actor. Thank you for pointing this out
He could be nice and really mean I understand but I tried to focus on his humanitarian efforts. He always gave his fans attention too.
Thanks for another interesting snippet of history. We watched the Mary Tyler Moore show all the time. Although I grew up just a few blocks away from this cemetery, I have never visited it. It was in great disrepair for several years before someone went in and cleaned it up. Thanks again.
He was a very entertaining actor and a good man. Lovely cemetery. Thanks Jeff.☮️💖🎶
It looked like a very crowded cemetery with the tall markers!
Thank you for this informative video of one of tvs best actors. Mr Asner alway gave his all no matter what he was doing.
Our family watched The Mary Tyler Moore Show as much as we could. I really enjoyed it and Ed's character "Lou Grant" was my favorite on that show. Now I know allot more about him. Excellent video!
Hello Jeff, Thanks so much for sharing your trip to Kansas City and visiting the grave of Ed Asner Rest 🙏 Peace. Have a wonderful day.
Thank you very much! You’re good to regularly leave a nice comment!
Jeff I loved everything he did .he had talent beyond all thanks for sharing
Thanks for posting this Jeff. My favorite role of his was in El Dorado where he played Bart Jason. This video was a nice tribute to him!
I was just thinking of one of the funniest lines from the Mary Tyler Moore Show's episode, "Chuckles Bites the Dust". Lou Grant said, "I don't want anybody to make any fuss. When I go, I just want to be stood outside in the garbage with my hat on." Thanks for this tribute, Jeff!
Thanks for the remembrance of Lou! Funny character!
I loved everything Ed Asner did so I was so happy seeing you were doing a spot on him. Thank you Jeff.....
I enjoyed both of Ed Asner's shows. As well as this video, thanks Jeff.
When I hear that theme song to Mary Tyler Moore Show, I am 15 and it's summer with friends! Good times!
He was a great man and a great actor i got his autograph a few years ago he was such a kind man and he will always be remembered and missed rest in peace mr ed asner
ED Asner was the best! Thanks for this, Jeff. My favorite roll that he played was Carl in Up.
Such a sad movie when Carl’s wife dies.
I loved Ed Asner...what a humble man he turned out to be. Nice job, Jeff. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I really enjoyed him, as an actor, and as a philanthropist.
Ed Asner was a wonderfull actor! He will be missed!!
Thanks Jeff for highlighting this actor.
Thanks for watching, Martin!
Interesting career, and life he lived. His political views are not the same as mine, but he was a great actor. Thank you for sharing. Take care Jeff. 🇺🇲
So many roles, memories and quite frankly, he is us….the every man…thanks Jeff.
Another wunnerful vlog! My late Auntie Gloria (the film/TV actress) appeared w/ him on the pilot episode of the short-lived albeit acclaimed television series "Mr. Novak" (this @ a time when she was the better known). I'm clinically-diagnosed as ASD myself, so it's far more common out there than we realize.
Thanks for sharing!! Sorry it took so long to reply, Craig!
Loved him and his political views. A true man of empathy. I too have folks on the autism spectrum in my family. RIP Ed!
My daughter just went out to a concert last night with his grandson.
I know where most of the cemeteries are in KC, this is a new one for me.
Thanks for sharing!
You are very welcome! Glad you learned somethings from this video!
All these places are full of life. Everyone has a story to tell.
Thanks for another great episode Jeff.
PS let Sarah know although she doesn't like the camera, she's a part of the channel. We miss seeing her. I know she's not into the history thing like us.
Fascinating bit of history. Thanks for venturing out and sharing this.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Loved this episode. I never tire hearing your autograph stories.
Wow, thank you!
Loved Ed Asner! I had a boss with that same personality....but he wound up being the best boss I ever had.
Thanks Jeff, for showing Ed Asner’s grave. A great actor who will be sadly missed, 🙏🙏🌹🌹🙏🙏

I remember watching MTM and Lou Grant when I was a kid. I think he was in a series called Rich Man, Poor Man too.
This was fantastic! I really liked Ed Asner's worm. Especially the John Wayne movie he was in. Keep up the great work Jeff!
You liked Ed Asher’s worm? Did you mean work? Lol
He was in a lot of shows. I remember many of them. Ed Asner was in a lot of TV shows.
Old memories, huh?

One of my favorite western movies is Eldorado with John Wayne and Ed Asner
and a bunch of other great actors and actresses. 👍
A lot of folks forget that he was in westerns!
I didn't forget but I liked him in the Mary Tyler
Ed was good in El dorado. yes indeed but one of my fav JW movies. I'am a hugh fan, still a fan.
Thanks Jeff, enjoy the video. Liked the rolls he played on Hallmark
Glad you enjoyed it! Hallmark is also based in Kansas City!
Hi . I wasn't sure about him at first . But now I have decided he was a pretty good guy . thanks for vlogging his story. Deborah 🇨🇦
Thanks for watching, Deborah!
Long ago I used to watch old reruns of the MTM show and it was very revolutionary for TV for its time. I think I like Ed even more knowing about his views and his support for the downtrodden in our society. Thanks for another great episode.
Jeff would you fulfill my request by visiting the grave of John philip sousa please you are a sweet kind guy on youtube 🎃🎃

Ed Asner was a great actor. Politics was not a thing important to him. But, he supported the actors and writers. 💯👍
I wondered about your choice of opening music until the picture of Ed Asner come on s teen. TaDa. Instant connection. Thaks for this one, Jeff.
Fooled you, huh? lol
Great video. Thanks for sharing n enjoy your trip
Thanks for watching again, Carlos!
I got to meet him while he was doing MTM. Very nice man. I also got to meet the other cast members. Great video as always...
Very cool! Did you also meet Mary?
Yes, I did, very nice lady. The whole cast were really nice.
The Caddyshack crew said Ted stole the show.
My mom loves that show. That theme song brought back memories.. sounds like Bert B. Love the content👍
I’m not sure Burt did that song. I’ll have to look it up.
@@jbenziggyit is sonny curtis who wrote and sung the theme title
Sonny curtis who wrote and sung the theme song
“You’ve got spunk,” said to Mary Richards. “I hate spunk.”
Didn’t agree with his politics exactly, but he was regarded as a very kind man, and that means a lot. RIP Ed.
I totally agree with his politics. He was all about helping people. That is commendable.
Thanx for episode. Did not agree with his politics - that being said - he was a great actor and I enjoyed watching him. Looking forward to your next video.
Great actor thanks for sharing 👍
Enjoyed again Jeff

So interesting! Did he look like his famous brother?
I did not really notice a strong "look alike" factor, but I had not seen what Ed looked like for many years, and Labe was pretty old in 2011. Labe was always very friendly.@@jbenziggy
Wow, I just noticed that Labe was 90 years old in 2011. He looked much younger than that.@@jbenziggy
Jeff, Ed Asner was a great actor 👍
"Ohhh, Mr. Grant."
I can still hear it.
And after all these decades. I feel either like a kid again or a senior citizen! Lol
That would be a great video to feature your autographs and drawings from celebrities! Please do that ! 😊
Ed Asner was a giant among humans, and a great actor.
Elf is one of my favorite movies. I didn't know Ed was from the KCMO area. I live in the area on the Kansas side! Thank you.
Did you know that Ed was buried there?
@@jbenziggy i didn't. So now I know. Interesting.
Short....but a good look at the late actor. I learned a bit about him, even tho our political views are different he has my respect.
It was short but I figured I could be short since I had posted a video on Thursday. Did you catch it?
Thanks Jeff, interesting no doubt
Central California watching
Great work and another episode
Thanks very much!
I remember Ed from his movie with Stockard Channing "The Girl Most Likely to..."
"You know what, you got spunk. I HATE spunk." Loved him on MTM. Didn't care for his politics.
Great work like always 👌🇺🇸
Thank you! Cheers!
Good video, but too short 😊
Would have loved more info about his kids and parents
Love your videos Jeff
I was okay being short because I did release another short video on Thursday on Bobby Greenlease. Did you see that one?
@@jbenziggy - No I haven’t! I will however. I’ve been watching some of the older videos. Love them all! Thanks Jeff
I was at Mr Asner’s grave yesterday.
I bet it was hot!
Regardless of politics, I enjoyed his shows.
I just started watching your clips on CZcams. It's totally interesting. I'm wondering if you'd do an episode on the Preston Castle in Ione? That place has a lot of history.
Thanks for finding us! Yes, we will get to Preston Castle and Ione. Just don't know when!
My mom graduated high school with him! Wyandotte high school. KCK
He was a great actor. Have a good week.
Thanks, Steve! Have a beautiful week!
This was so interesting, Jeff. Underneath that talented, gruff exterior, was a compassionate, bighearted person. Once in awhile, it would slip through on the MTM show... as we saw in the clip, from the final episode of the show. That certainly is a good-sized, family plot.🙏🏻❤️🩹🪦
He also play the father in the 1976 drama for tv Rich Man Poor Man. Cheer y’all.
Thanks very much!
Great episode🤗🤗
Thank you
Time to sit back with Guinness in hand and cereal in bowl. 😂. I was born in Sept of 71’ so Mr Asner was a lil before my time. Still have memories of my Mom watching their show though. God bless him for putting smiles on my moms face. It was the suckey shows in which she’d beat us with broom handles. Not Mr Asner though. Thank you for the healing process. 😂
Guinness and cereal? Interesting.

How did you get away with playing "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" theme song(to the length you did)? I liked that.
TV theme songs generally don’t trigger copyright issues.
Interesting for lou, I call him lou it seems the name lou fits him better, I did like his spin off show it was pretty good. I always loved the MTM song you're gonna make it after all, iconic show and song. he was also in the John wayne movie El dorado. played a bad dude. I never knew hew was pretty close by at the kansas city cemetary, thankyou for covering this jeff. And putting in the hard work. I always enjoy your efforts. Take care and God bless.
Charlie Parker is the more famous in KC.
He had a home for years at Shaver Lake, CA. One of a few celebrities which had mountain homes in the area. Rock Hudson also had a mountain home there which he referred to as his hunting cabin. Not sure what he was hunting.
He was great as Ed Wuncler on The Boondocks!
Jeff, you should check out the recently surfaced news footage of themed Director Norman Jewison
Like holy crap he still alive he’s 97 years old !
He had a small cinema TIFF I believe, dedicated in his name
He was the bad guy in Eldorado, John Wayne, Robert Mitchum and James Cann
I remember him from his spin off Lou Grant.
Thanks Jeff...great man 👨
One my favourite movies has him the bad guy in El Dorado with John Wayne
My mother-in-law told me he graduated from Wyandotte High School--we did, too.
Small world! I appreciate you watching this video!
Great video. Great actor.
