Just dang -- the literal Voice of many generations.
Strange day where I announce the passing of one so great (Mr. Pardo) and one so small (jumpin' jim).

You can hear Pardo’ announcing on some radio shows from the late 40’s and early 50’s.

Gabriel, please tell our contestant what his parting gifts are.
Mr. Pardo, you’ve won an all expenses paid trip to final judgement, the game show where you stand to win big or lose everything.
Thank you for playing.

Barukh Dayyan Ha'Emet.To me he was the original announcer for Art Fleming's "Jeopardy."

Wow he was that old? Wow, damn back when SNL started in the late 70 he must have been already in his 60s.
To: freedumb2003
Lovely voice! He will be missed...

Yes, his voice does echo from my youth... when the show was actually half-way good.
