Hey, number 11 is not correct. Both Alda and Farr served in Korea, but AFTER the cessation of hostilities. Let the truth be known.
And technically neither "fought" in the Korean War. Just saying....
11/13.
4 out of 13.
Beat you by THAT much.
Fun Fact:
Jamie Farr met Red Skelton while he was serving in Korea.
They became friendly, and Skelton invited him to Hollywood after the war ended.
Jamie Farr's first TV appearances were on Red Skelton's show, playng foil in comedy skits; Red did a Navy cook called Cookie, and Jamie was his sidekick Snorkel.
And the rest is history ...

Suicide Is Painless! CBS thought the lyrics were too sad! Bonus Question: Who played Painless in the movie and why did he want to commit suicide?
John Schuck
He thought he was gay.
That song is sad, especially now with so many suicides today, but it is a classic tune that stays in your head
He was impotent and he thought he was gonna be like that for life

But only on certain occasions.
