The Voice

Don Pardo has died.  He may have the most famous voice of our time. He was the announcer for numerous game shows, most famously Jeopardy! in it's original version.  He was also an announcer for NBC News. And then, when other men might think of retiring, he had a second act and became the announcer for Saturday Night Live.

He was one of those rare guys whom you wouldn't recognize in person, but imagine if you heard him over the phone.

When I heard this today, I immediately thought LAG needed to post the "I am The Slime" Zappa song. Thank you for not disappointing.

I was surprised it was available on YouTube--SNL is very protective of its stuff.
