Thinking About Otto Petersen One Year After His Death

It's been one year since we learned that Otto Petersen, of the famed comedy ventriloquism duo Otto and George, passed away. Not only was Otto a tremendous comedian, but there was so much more to him even beyond his act that might not be apparent to fans who went to see his comedy.

Otto Petersen: These Comedians Changed My Life

The great Otto Petersen passed away today. Otto was an outstanding comedian, and on a personal note, he was becoming a regular contributor to the interrobang. Earlier this year he reached out to us asking to write stories for us, and submitted two before he passed away. The first, about his favorite movies, was published on March 17, 2014, “Otto Petersen Picks 1974 as the Greatest Year in Film.” The second, is this one. Thanks Otto, we were honored to work with you, if only briefly.
