AS SEEN ON TV BONUS: J. EDGAR HOOVER

When J. Edgar Hoover was inducted last week into the TV Crossover Hall of Fame for April's Fool in the "As Seen On TV" category, we didn't have a full complement of portraits for him. We had the Tooniverse Hoover, camped out in drag in a cameo from 'The Critic', and the FBI director from Skitlandia. As played by Broderick Crawford on an old 'Saturday Night Live', this Hoover was similar in looks to one from the movie universe. And that's why we featured Crawford from the movie, rather than a Hoover from Toobworld.

So to make up for that error, here's Pat Hingle as J. Edgar Hoover in the 1992 TV movie "Citizen Cohn"....... BCnU!
