I was watching Riverdale last night and thinking about Luke Perry’s passing and Howard’s strange comments about it. Howard was discussed Perry being there at “Fartman,” and being Buchwald client and how Perry talked to Howard about finding another agent. Howard of course tried to talk him out of it, unsuccessfully and attributed the decision to Perry’s career decline. I was reminded how strange it was that Howard’s reaction to someone’s death was that they rejected Buchwald. It also reminded me of how he admonished Jackie for not using Buchwald and seemed to strong arm everyone on the show to use his agent. What the hell was Howard’s obsession with everyone using Buchwald? He get a kick back?
