Nielsen in Columbo
Mr. Leslie Nielsen has played Peter Hamilton in "Lady in Waiting" in Columbo, that's missing from his TV filmography. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.128.48.46 (talk) 23:10, 3 February 2014 (UTC) Oh, and please, was he wearing a wig? Just curious... I mean, look at his hair.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.128.48.46 (talk) 23:13, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

Back to the Future special in 1989
I see the TV table also cite some host appearances. Nielsen hosted a night dedicated to Back To The Future in 1989, here on NBC. Shouldn't it be added?--Alexmar983 (talk) 00:01, 19 December 2018 (UTC)

American citizenship?
Just noticed his nationality in the lead has been changed from Canadian to Canadian-American. Did he only become an American citizen nine years after he died, then? Scf1985 (talk) 21:42, 5 September 2019 (UTC)

Airplane!
Filmography says "Airplane! First comedy role". No, it wasn't. 86.41.149.167 (talk) 10:17, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

Wife Candi?
I am watching an old game show Tattles Tales and Leslie is on it with a girl name Candi and has been refered to as his wife? However, she's not on the list of marriages. Were they not married? Thank you. 24.189.220.166 (talk) 17:19, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

Are we avoiding the Canadian-American date format on purpose?
If not, I think it should go Month-Day-Year around here. If so, that's cool. Just a bit unusual. InedibleHulk (talk) 05:42, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
