You know what is funny? An Alan Alda impression. Surprised Jim hasn't gotten more attention from Hollywood for this.

Someone diagnosed jimmy seriously by monitoring his tics on camera awhile back.
I respectfully disagree with that diagnosis, based off of my own anecdotal evidence of seeing three of my uncles go down with the Parks (2 dead, 1 to go). The earliest signs for early onset (before age 55) include shaking in the extremities, but not spastic shaking, more like vibrating. This can look like the shakes an old alcoholic might get around the same age, and there is a link between the two.
If we’re diagnosing any of the boys with Parkinson’s, it should be Ant.
Yep. Ant has a tic and facially changed too which is a sign.
He also stopped doing Michael J. Fox “shake my drink/can of paint/“ jokes about 2 years ago, which were once a go-to for him.
Maybe it was Ant people were talking about and i am misremembering.
