I used to watch this show religiously. Seems like he never aged. Was a little shocked for some reason when I heard he passed. I didn't even realize he was 93. He had so many memorable episodes with so many iconic actors.

R.I.P.

I seriously believed he had died years ago. I could have swore I remembered hearing that, but maybe was confusing him with the guy who hosted the Turner Classic Movies show.

In any case, he had a pretty interesting life story and was a something of a Renaissance man, if sounded like.
