Roger Ebert

Roger Joseph Ebert (18 June 1942 - 4 April 2013) was an American film critic, journalist, and screenwriter. 
== Allusions ==
* In the 1995 short "Another Froggy Evening", there are caricatures of Siskel & Ebert as Romans giving the "thumbs up."
* In the Animaniacs episode "Critical Condition", Skippy and Slappy go to the theater to see a Siskel & Eggbert movie, an obvious spoof reference of Siskel & Ebert.
== Notes ==
* According to his review of Looney Tunes Back in Action, Roger loved Looney Tunes and kept a Daffy Duck cup, given to him by a colleague, on a shelf in his office.
* Roger was one of the few major critics to write a positive review of Space Jam. His then-partner Gene Siskel also gave the film a "thumbs-up," though his zeal was more subdued.
