90 (NINETY!!) and still working!

I don't think I'll make it that long, and I really have my eye on that villa on St. Barth's, but that's pretty amazing.

Television wouldn't --- and won't --- be the same without him.

truly one of the greats --- the only reason to watch SNL for many, many seasons was to hear don pardo.

At our house when we were kids, several of us used to go around "doing" Don Pardo after hearing him on the radio or TV. Imagine a houseful of girls (and one brother) all "doing" Don Pardo...

Anybody here remember the old SNL skit, "Waiting for Pardo"?

When I was in third grade, I lived in Encino, CA - down the street from Gary Owens. His kids went to the same school as me and my brothers. One day we missed the bus, and he drove us to school in his jammies. At the tender age of 9- that's when I KNEW VO people were totally cool, and operated outside of the box. Laugh

There was one season when Don was not the voice of SNL it was when Dick Ebersol took over from Loren Michaels. The voice was staff announcer Mel Brandt.
Well we all know what happened to that decision.
Happy Birthday Don.

I've lived in Tucson now for 19 years. What I never knew until today, according to Wikipedia, is that so does Don Pardo.

I'll have to contact a private investigator. Boy, would I love to have coffee with THIS legend!
