Where Are They Now?
Snakkle Celebrates The 27th Anniversary Of Hit Comedy Good Morning, Vietnam And The Funnymen Who Busted Our Guts—Where Are They Now?
Everyone thinks they’re a comedian. Or at least behind the ranks in Saigon, they do. Adrian Cronauer is flown in from the Isle of Crete, to deliver the news and provide the much-needed morale boost for the American troops. But there’s a war at the radio station when Adrian’s gut-busting, easily delivered quips fail to make some of his superiors laugh. Things get political when Adrian learns hard lessons about whose side he’s really on during the Vietnam War. It’s been 27 years since this bunch of wisecracks teamed up for Good Morning, Vietnam, Snakkle finds out where they are now! By Brittany Carson
Forest Whitaker as Edward Garlick in Good Morning, Vietnam (1987)
Private First Class Edward Montesquieu Garlick (whew, what a name!) is the first person to greet Adrian in Saigon, he also happens to be the radio assistant. Edward is young and as yet unaffected by the stern demeanors of his superiors. He tries to look out for Adrian, especially when Adrian starts slipping censored news items over the air. “Oh Edward, don’t you ever do anything not by the book?” “Not when it gets me in trouble…” Ever a fan, of the comic, his last favor to him when Edward takes over the show is a recording of Adrian saying “Goooooooodbye, Vietnam!”
