Apocalypse? Now where's Leslie Nielsen

Despite the apocalyptic state of my life – it’s news when everything is normal – Leslie Nielsen could genuinely bring a smile to my face.
He was an actor stored away in my subconscious and on the rerun list of movie channels, to be brought up whenever an apocalyptic scenario beckoned.
Nielsen himself would have played out an apocalyptic scenario with that deadpan expression and sparkly blue eyes that made you believe, without a doubt, he saved the world without knowing it was coming to an end.
What makes us laugh? I’m not sure. But, who? Nielsen was one of ‘em.
