Oh no. Mike Nichols, who cast a giant shadow, taken under at 83. Definitely - There was a man. Everything we do in modern American comedy is connected to him, and he made some of the greatest stage shows and movies ever. I met him once at the Oscars, in 1989, with my friend Paige. Comically brief conversation, which I will always remember. SAM Mr. Nichols, I just want to tell you your comedy and theatre work are why I got started, and made me believe I could make up my own comedy and put it in my movies. You have made me laugh so much, and you are so great, and I just want to thank you. MIKE NICHOLS Gotta go. And he did. Heres how I saw him first, on tv with Elaine May. In this sketch. Eerily apropos.
