    RIP Don Pardo

    Of course, we all know the prog connection with "The Illinois Enema Bandit."

    Didn't realize he was that old, but I knew he was up there.

    RIP.

    Ah, ya beat me to it. My favorite Weird Al song. "You don't get to come back tomorrow! You don't even get a lousy copy of our home game! You're a COMPLETE LOSER."

    RIP Don indeed.

    I guess the only reason this vid hasn't been ripped down is it doesn't mention the s the n and the l.

    Sorry to hear. Rest in peace, Don.

    RIP - The totally square voice that hung out with a fair share of freaks.

    Bye-bye Don, thanks for it all.
    Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world.

    I remember Don Pardo from the original Jeopardy with Art Fleming in the 60's. On the question board they had cardboard dollar cards which someone behind the board pulled up to reveal the question, or answer if your being technical. Wow , he has been around a long time.

    Whenever I heard his voice, I knew it was time to change the channel. ( SNL has pretty much been and continues to be unwatchable for me.)

    Me, too, since the early 80s. The most unfunny show on TV, IMO.
