[AtomicRooster77]

Its always great when we can put a face to one of the greatest voices in history!!!

[snickpickle]

This is the first time I've ever seen Don Pardo -- also didn't know his real name is DOM -- as in Dominick! Who knew? :-) Thank you SO MUCH for taping this!

[PatrioticPirate]

THAT'S HIM?! WHOA! I'm glad to have finally seen even a pic of him!

[LoveNeden]

oh wow, he's so awesome :)

[sdr1963]

OMG I hope Don is still okay I will be in Tucson this Saturday but Don is my friend from NY from NBC in the 80's...I use to sit with him in the announcer booth while he would read his one liners for NBC News with Tom Brokaw. I will be looking him up...He is a great person!

[franklindavid]

Great man! very humble.

[Bixfan78]

What a delightful man. I'm so glad that you've done this interview. How interesting that his "normal" speaking voice sounds nothing like his announcing voice! I've gotten to meet another announcing legend, Art Gilmore, but his voice sounds like...Art Gilmore.

Don told me that he started as an usher in a movie theater then studied acting in college,did news reals,then was an actor announcer and director in radio in dramas like front page farrell starring richard widmark,then got in on the ground floor in televison as an anouncer .

[Limp73]

The one and only Don Pardo! He was an inspiration when I was a kid. I like to do voice impersonations of him ever since.

[sdr1963]

Thank you for this interview...Don was my friend when I worked at NBC in the late 80's and early 90's. I would sit in the announcers room with him while he did his one liners during the Nighty News with Tom Brokaw. I tried calling NBC but Tom secretary told me he had retire so I tried to find him. He is a very happy person who loves balloons!

[efrem7]

This is great. It is just like sitting down for a burger at a restaurant and relaxing and hearing his story. Great clip
