Abraham Jacob Hollandersky
He died in San Diego in early November 1966, and was buried in Greenwood Memorial Park, as was his wife Freda in 1988. He had had no children. At his request, his tombstone was headed with his ring name, Abe the Newsboy, the name used almost exclusively by the newspapers that covered his boxing and wrestling career.
Larry Wilmore
On January 19, 2015 Wilmore began hosting "The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore", a late-night panel talk show that aired on Comedy Central. It was a spin-off of "The Daily Show", and served as a replacement for "The Colbert Report". It was produced by Jon Stewart's production company Busboy Productions. The show was criticized for a controversial segment featuring Bill Nye in September 2015, with" Adweek" characterizing it as the moment that Wilmore had "turned away from Colbert's legacy of intellectualism." The Nye segment may have negatively affected viewership, with ratings down more than half from the year before. On August 15, 2016, Comedy Central announced that Wilmore's show had been cancelled. The show ended on August 18, 2016, with a total of 259 episodes.
In June 2017, Wilmore came under fire for comments he had made during his time on "The Nightly Show". When reporting on the case of Otto Warmbier, an American student arrested in North Korea and sentenced to 15 years of hard labor for allegedly attempting to steal a propaganda sign, Wilmore repeatedly ridiculed Warmbier. Wilmore referred to Warmbier as "Otto Von Crybaby" and suggested that Warmbier thought he had "Frat Bro Privilege". Otto Warmbier died on June 19, 2017, after being medically evacuated from North Korea to the U.S. in a comatose state, after 15 months in prison. In his "Black on the Air" podcast on June 22, 2017, Wilmore offered an apology for his earlier remarks about Warmbier.
