Leslie has been dead for the past 14 years (sadly) it's no surprise that a lot of people don't know about him.
Edit: oh.... I get it now... Damn
Thanks for providing an actual answer

Facts like these make me feel really old, I grew up with that clown. Sleepovers with the Naked Gun movies were the best.
To be fair, you're not really old unless you grew up with him as a dramatic actor, before he switched to comedy.
Forbidden Planet is great.
I was so confused when I first saw that movie,not knowing he wasn't a comedian all his career.
14 years? It can't be 14 years because I was well out of high school and colle... Oh fuck I'm old.
I completely forgot about it. Or chose to ignore it. Now I'm sad.
And loving it.
