Sketch o’the Week- Peter Falk!
September 28th, 2022 | Posted in Sketch O'The Week
I was a bit young to have watched “Columbo” in its first run, but it was a favorite of my parents so I remember it through osmosis. Peter Falk created one of the most memorable TV detectives of all time in Frank Columbo. His trademark rumpled overcoat and suit, half smoked cigar, unkept appearance and mild mannered, unassuming demeanor have become the stuff of television legend along with his trademark remark “just one more thing…” before springing a crucial question on a suspect that leads to closing his case. This is the first in a new series of “famous TV sleuths” I’m going to be doing for the SotW!

I know it was in a movie and not TV, but I loved him as the Sam Spade parody in “Murder By Death.”
