The celebrity columnist died last night in Cabo San Lucas at age 76 after suffering a second stroke.

His "champagne wishes and caviar dreams" with Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous was syndicated for over a decade, starting in 1984 and helped launch Entertainment Tonight.

Don't miss the brief appearance of OUR FAVORITE GUY at second 22 in Leach's video intro for Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous.

Memories..!

Fair winds and following seas, friend...

RIP. Enjoyed Robin Leach.

This one hurts; it’s another staple of my youth gone.

“..staple of my youth gone...”

Yeah, unfortunately, the older we get, the faster that seems to happen...

I’m 10 years or so younger than you but I remember I was a little kid the show would come on and I enjoyed it and then one day they stopped showing it and I was disappointed.

RIP.

But we mustn’t detract attention from St. John of Sedona by talking about decent people that have passed away recently!

I liked his show.

Gave me something to aspire to.

Also told me what decorator I would never hire.

Not that I ever had the chance but the daydreams were fun.
