Video of the Day: A Few Minutes in Andy Rooney’s Closet
12:17 pm Tuesday Jun 30, 2009 by Caroline Stanley

Best Week Ever dredged up this old clip of 60 Minutes’ Andy Rooney going through a cardboard box of clothes trying to decide what to donate to charity and what to keep. He was born in 1919, so there are some real gems. Like the majority of Rooney’s segments, it is both convoluted and hilarious — particularly the moment when he says his old suit makes him looks like he runs a pawn shop. Spoiler alert: Rooney is a hoarder and decides to give nothing away in the end.

Ah well, at least this time the old coot wasn’t hating on modern art.

I loved the Modern Art video. That was classic.
