Jay Leggett
This is a shocking development in the improv community. Jay Leggett, a former staple at the ImprovOlympic, has passed away at the ridiculously young age of 50. (The Tribune has the story) I only met Jay once or twice, and that was more than 20 years ago, but I heard lots of stories about him from my "The Living Wills" writing partner Brendan Sullivan--another former member of the Blue Velveeta troupe at ImprovOlympic. Jay had been living in LA ever since he made the cast of "In Living Color" back in 1993.
