What is the name of the guy who played Alf's "dad"?

[LaurenG]

You know Lieberman makes me think of that show all of the time. No wonder I can't take him seriously. Among other obvious reasons.

3. Actually a very talented character actor.

I wouldn't be surprised if he left "Alf" off his resume.

Blame the crossed wires on the heatwave.

Swear to God -- Lieberman's voice reminds me of Max Wright, too. I thought I was the only one.

8. Well, I don't want to hijack this thread

But, if you head over to the Michigan forum in the State/Country folder, we have LOTS of details (including a DU guest list of sorts) over there.
Still not too late to get your reservation in. And bring a friend.

9. You know that dude is a crackhead right?

He went off and turned into a gay crackhead. I remember the story from about 4 or 5 years ago. Pretty funny actually.

13. AAR's Morning Sedition had a game show based on this

They played five audio clips and challenged listeners to determine whether each clip was from a Joe Lieberman speech or from the dad on ALF. NOBODY was able to guess all of the clips. It was just unbelievable; not only did the voice sound the exact same in all the clips, but the blowhard rhetoric was dead-on, as well.
