message: It sounds like he claims it and claims Groening backs it up, but I thought this guy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_%22Red%22_Deutsch  was the inspiration!
::Rich is the inspiration for the voice and attitude of Moe, Red Deutsch was the inspiration for the prank calls and later the boxing/child actor back story of Moe.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.10.84.3 (talk) 12:33, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Inspiration for Moe?

message: IMDb says he was born in North Carolina, and I can't find a single source that says he's Canadian, but somebody changed his nationality and biographical details to Canadian on October 8. In the meantime I've reverted it, but if he really is Canadian can somebody provide a real source to confirm this? Thanks. I won't hold my breath, though. Bearcat 19:34, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry, folks, but none of this information is reliabily sourced (i.e., shown to be published by a reliable organization), so we can't use it. (Nor is it useful that he and my sister were friends in school, either. ☺) What we do have is IMDb's assertion that he was born in Alexandria, Virginia. Therefore, I have changed his birthplace to reflect this and have added a specfic source citation. (While I was at it, I also fleshed out and expanded the other sources in the article.) Please do not change this information unless you can provide a properly cited source. If you can, and it conflicts with IMDb, the article must include some mention of the varying reliably sourced claims. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 23:44, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If it helps for citation sources, he mentioned in his Live at the Apollo standup that he was "commanded" by the queen "to help celebrate Americans who have helped make a cultural contribution to Britain".  Part of the joke centred around him being asked what it was he did and he said comedian and Prince Philp mishears and thinks he said Canadian and guards try to throw him out until he corrects the mistake. 78.86.230.62 (talk) 23:54, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

text: I've changed it back, this has been disputed before  so it should definitely not be re-added without a reliable source. January (talk) 21:13, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Nationality

message: I removed the sentence saying that he attended Western Carolina University because it didn't have a source.  I googled it and I haven't found a single reliable source that says he did attend WCU.  If someone has a source, please repost it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.30.220.76 (talk) 00:14, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Does anyone have a more recent photo to use?  Something taken rather more recently 23 years ago, which the current one is dated.  Niki2006 (talk) 18:05, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I was thinking the same thing, it is a bit old...but it is still a pretty good picture.  Surely someone must have been able to take a pic of him from the audience in NMTB or something, or how about that guy in the front row of RH's latest DVD who said he was taking a pic with his phone camera, can't he send it in for us? :-)

text: Even if the current picture is replaced, I think that the picture used should be kept available just because it's a part of Rich Hall's history...although that's just personal opinion, of course 78.86.230.62 (talk) 23:48, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

message: Another 90 minute documentary, "Rich Hall's California Stars", was shown on July 20 2014 on BBC4 (repeated on the 23rd if you're quick).  Perhaps someone with a better grasp of WikiSCIENCE than me could update the article... Mr Larrington (talk) 00:35, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

message: The morning show. I vaguely remember him appearing on the morning show doing a skit where he acted out a weather report about a tornado using small plastic animals and buildings. Dr. Morbius (talk) 02:38, 22 May 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: He had a regular bit, filing reports from "Pitkinville", which was allegedly a small Montana town.  Hall would stand backstage and detail some event happening in Pitkinville while manipulating little toy cars and/or people around the little plastic buildings and plastic grass of the town.  It was memorably strange.  Everyone But You (talk) 20:52, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
