Well said, Pat! I miss Jack Clark, too. Seems like when every one of these announcers/game show hosts die, a part of me dies along with them.

R.I.P. Johnny Olson...1910-1985

R.I.P. Jack Clark...1925-1988

R.I.P. Rod Roddy...1937-2003

R.I.P. Gene Wood...1925-2004

R.I.P. Bill Cullen...1920-1990

R.I.P. Bert Convy...1933-1991

R.I.P. Gene Rayburn...1917-1999

Every one of these individuals was a class act & will never be replaced!

Rest In Peace, Gentlemen.

@jhzenor61481 Yes, I acknowledged Charlie O'Donnell's death in a separate post here. When I posted mention of Jack Clark's death a while back in various posts, Charlie O was still alive. Thanks for your acknowledgement, nonetheless!

@SirhcOltnam LISTEN TO ME YOU UNEDUCATED CUNT!!!! i was not bashing straight men i was simply telling the truth (: BIG DIFFERENCE!!!! so shut your fucking mouth and keep it moving, if you did not agree with my comment you should of ignored it, my comment must of had a impact on your sorry ass. what's the matter??? can't handle the truth???? you will get over it (: i could care less about your feelings or anybody else feelings, i tell the truth, i don't care about what people think of me.

@medicalterrylove2 Just because you're gay doesn't mean you get to bash straights for not crying. Worry about yourself and you're own emotions. And then you wonder why you get made fun of and/or harassed.

[medicalterrylove2]

STOP BEING SO AFRAID TO CRY!!!! AS A GAY MAN I AM PROUD OF WHO I AM, STRAIGHT GUYS ARE SO AFRAID TO SHOW EMOTION AND IT IS JUST PLAIN STUPID AND DUMB, GAY GUYS WE DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH SHOWING EMOTION, IF YOU NEED TO CRY THEN CRY, HOLDING ALL OF YOUR FEELINGS IN IS NOT HEALTHY AT ALL

@jtnoodle

Ignore him with a name like fuck192ass, he's never been laid. Well, except for the little circle jerks with his nerd buddies and when they teabag each other.

And jtnoodle, you're absolutely right. The Nazis were aligned with the liberal party. Don't try to show him the truth, lefties are dumber than rocks anyway. (sorry to rocks)

[oldfart387]

Wheel also lost Charley (can't remember last name) recently too. He had been announcer there for quite awhile.

[jtnoodle]

I'll ask again: What makes him a Nazi? What has he done or said?
