Barukh Dayyan Ha'Emet.To me he was the original announcer for Art Fleming's "Jeopardy."
To: freedumb2003
Wow he was that old? Wow, damn back when SNL started in the late 70 he must have been already in his 60s.
To: boop
I haven’t watched that show literally in decades, was he still announcing it in his 90s?

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

John Facenda and Don Pardo, two voices that everyone knew but rarely saw the face that housed the voice. There are going to be some great voice-overs in Heaven. Can’t wait to hear that.

He’s as dead as disco. You mean he's coming back as a Broadway musical like 'Mama Mia'?
Somehow I think he might like that! (-:
