When I was growing up in the 1950s and 60s Arnold Stang was ubiquitous on television and radio in a host of character roles, all of them nerdy. The line of his that I most remember was for a chocolate bar named "Chunky" and he would voiceover, "Chunky - what a chunka chawclat!" in his impeccable nerdy voice. Mr. Stang died Sunday at 91.

Amen to that. And "ubiquitous" is the word. I, too, remember the Chunky commercial, but also an appearance on "Maverick." He was "Jake the Weasel." The problem was that no one would believe this little nerdy guy was the real outlaw. Funny guy.
