I’m not sure why they needed to clear that up. When you are 99 years old a hangnail can be fatal.

Concentration was my favorite TV Game Show as a kid, I was so happy when I got the home version for my birthday.
RIP Hugh

Wow — I read decades ago that Downs voiced this character. But it must have been an early example of fake news! Apparently it was Paul Frees...
Apologies for the error!

Carl Reiner, and now Hugh Downs.
Who's going to be number 3? Ruth Buzzy?
