Frank Bonner, who played Herb Tarlek on the sitcom “WKRP in Cincinnati” has died. He was 79.
Bonner passed away “peacefully” Wednesday amid his battle with Lewy body dementia, his family told TMZ..
As Herb on “WKRP” in the late 1970s and early 1980s, Bonner was the quintessential salesman in a gaudy plaid suit and white loafers, despite struggling as a radio station sales manager who consistently failed to reel in the big accounts.
The actor turned to directing in a few episodes of “WKRP,” and later reprised the role in the early ’90s spinoff, “The New WKRP in Cincinnati.”

WKRP comes on as re-runs in my area from time to time. I still think it was a good show. Sorry to hear that Herb has passed.

Is he from the frozen chicken's don't fly show?
I've never watched the show but that's all I ever hear about. Frozen chickens dropped from a helicopter or some such.

We had a teacher in high-school in the mid-’80s whose wardrobe of *ahem* interesting neckties and sport coats from the previous decade was quite something. Needless to say, his nickname was “Herb Tarlek.”

did he ever get a real office? :)
RIP

I still laugh when I think of the Big Guy putting the “foot powder” in his shoes. LOL.

Herb:(to Andy)Gosh darn it, Andy, I love it.
This’ll be a big success!

Herb: (to Carlson) Good move, Big Guy!
Les: I told you he wouldn’t last.

That was a great sitcom. I also liked Les Nessman and Johnny Fever.
