Don't like Frasier, it's on permanent loop on C4 in the mornings.


Watched a TBBT today, the Stan Lee one, hadn't noticed before that the judge is called J. Kirby. biggrin

It's a geek joke. Stan Lee when writing the comic books for which he is famous worked with the artist Jack Kirkby.

So not a joke really more a sort of hat tip.

Nope. I was wrong - I didn't get it.

From the Frasier name drop there, I got the character "Kirby" : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minor_characters_on_F...

He was on that channel 4 live from space documetary. He's not a bad actor in TBBT, most non actor cameos sound like they're just reading the lines.

J. Kirby was also the judge in the Donkey Kong trial from back in the early days of gaming.
