Welcome to Hats Off Entertainment! I pay tribute to the entertainers, movies, and TV shows that I grew up watching (both the good and the bad) that I feel are deserving of more attention. I also serve as co-host on our separate podcast channel which you can find linked below, where we discuss new releases, old Hollywood, and other random topics.

Video Description
In November 1993, Spy Magazine ran an article suggesting the Naked Gun movies borrowed jokes and gags from earlier sources like Get Smart, The Pink Panther, and Sledge Hammer. As a lifelong fan of The Naked Gun and Leslie Nielsen, I wanted to take a closer look at where those claims came from, what the evidence really shows, and whether these moments were homage, coincidence, or something more. This video isn’t about tearing down The Naked Gun — it’s about exploring the roots of Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker’s comedy style and how jokes get recycled in film and TV.
