The Vulture Transcript: Fred Willard Takes Us Through His Career in the Most Delightfully Willardian Way -- Vulture

What I learned from this: Fred Willard turned down the lead role in Airplane! 

every time something about it comes on the TV, I say to my wife, geez, I probably should have done that. And she says, Fred, if you had done it, it might not have been that successful. 

I heart Fred Willard.
