They should have let Jack Narz host a week of Password Plus and have Tom Kennedy play the game, similar to when Allen Ludden would take a week off from hosting and play against Betty White, in which Monty Hall hosted these episodes.
Actually Jack died due to kidney problems, and complications due to two strokes, not a heart attack, but he had been in poor health for the last year or so.
This shows how polished he was. On a whim, Jack and his brother (Tom Kennedy) switched roles and he jumped right in and hosted as if he had done it for years. He was one of the best.
Tom Kennedy will turn 85 next month on February 26, 2012.

How do you think Jack did with PP?

@nextbarker I think that if Jack had the chance, he would easily have done well as Tom.

He was also fantastic on Now You See It..
Sure wish GSN would bring it back....They should have had a tribute to Jack Narz with a marathon of his shows he has hosted....R.I.P. Jack

He must have been the longest lived of all the Space Patrol cast members. Rest in Peace.

Great game show host. I loved watching him on Concentration.

I'm sure that right now, he's talking to Allen Ludden, and Allen's telling him that he did a great job guest hosting.

Indeed he was.

If this were the only ep you ever saw, you'd SWEAR Jack was the regular host. No hesitation, no stumbling -- smooth as glass.
