Conrad Bain, best known for playing Phillip Drummond on Diff’rent Strokes passed away. He was 89. It looks like Todd Bridges is the only child left from that cast. So depressing. I used to love Diff’rent Strokes, it will forever be part of my childhood and Mr. Drummond will forever be one of my favorite TV Dads.

R.I.P. Mr. Drummond.

About

Although comedy is her profession, Nadine has accomplished a lot in her young age. She is a national champion black belt, a world-class soccer player, and an avid snowboarder. She started playing soccer at the age of 4, and continued playing through college where she majored in Biology, but quickly realized her destiny was to tell jokes, not to wear a lab coat. So she decided to be funny while finishing her Bachelors Degree in biology and continued on to get her M.B.A. Nadine’s comedy style is much like her athleticism, fearless. She’s made her way up the comedy ladder very quickly, and has become a club favorite at many of the country’s top comedy clubs, including the Improv chain. Performing in the Boston Comedy Festival and being noted as the “one of the youngest and brightest up and comers” and traveling to the Middle East to entertain the troops are just a few of her notable accomplishments. These days Nadine splits time between the stage, a radio studio, her computer blogging, and a television studio. Nadine’s TV, Radio, Writing credits include: national commercials, talking head roles on E! Entertainment, Showtime’s Hot Tamales Live, The Skinny: Fat Free News, The Sunny Side of The Truth: Real World Hollywood, TVgasm, Zazreport, Daddy’s Girls, Jerseylicious, celebrity interviews on Mania TV, a weekly half-hour television show that syndicates to colleges across the country for National Lampoon and a nightly radio show on XM Satellite Radio.

    Diff’rent Strokes was a show that annoyed me to death…from the arbitrary and unnecessary apostrophe in the title to the contrivance of the living situation. And if you use the criteria for identifying perverts, Mr. Drummond deserves some close scrutiny. First he, a single rich guy, adopts two needy young boys. Then when those two boys get older, Mr. Drummond marries a woman who just happens to have another young boy.

    Sounds like the makings for a very special episode.
