Um, don’t get me wrong, Kirk Douglas is a legend and icon and all, but he’s way too old for this. Actually, it’s not about age, but the fact that he had a stroke and can barely speak let alone act and carry a show. Even if some people are curious and still want to see him – is this not pathetic? Be like Melissa from The Bachelor and go softly into the night!
