In this house we celebrate Columbo’s Day, where we watch as many episodes as we can and in the evening we say “just one more thing” and light up a cigar

Everyone everywhere should celebrate Columbo Day, not just as an alternative to a questionable holiday. I celebrate it at least once a month. I wish I could include a Basset Hound for authenticity's sake, but no such luck. It's still any month's highlight.
RIMMER: You can scoff, Lister. That's nothing new. They laughed at Galileo, they laughed at Edison, they laughed at Columbo.
LISTER: Who's Columbo?
RIMMER: The man with the dirty mack who discovered America.
Have you heard the story about how he showed up an hour late for the audition, but he genuinely thought he was on time, so came in all unconcerned and no fucks given?
This is absolutely true, but it turns out Peter Falk as Columbo still hits in the later episodes, too. Which was a RELIEF when I went from season 7 to season 8.
I read recently that "just one more thing" was a happy accident. Shot a scene, but forgot something crucial. So on the fly they told Falk to say "just one more thing" as he popped back in. And the rest was history.
