Don Pardo gone at 96

One of my heroes...along with Bill Wendell, George Fenneman, Johnny Olson, Rod Roddy & so many more. What a life...working almost right up to the end.

"Don Pardo, just tell me now what I didn't win"

Pardo's cameo appearance in the song "I Lost on Jeopardy", telling Al that he has brought shame and disgrace to his family name for generations to come, is a classic.

Rest in peace, Don Pardo.

Mr. Pardo began in radio in 1938. What a long, illustrious career. Thank you, especially for you time at SNL.

Never tired of his SNL intros. Part classic orator, part carnival barker.

His voice was everywhere. From game shows to Metro North commercials.

RIP Don.
