[TV orNotTV] Don Pardo

Just heard on PTI that he's 95 today. Someone mentioned that he didn't do the live SNL announce last Saturday, but I deleted it from my DVR before I could check. Does NBC have any booth guys left to replace him, or will they go to, say, Carl Kasell? --Dave Sikula -- -- TV or Not TV The

The only difference between the nighttime show and the usual version were slightly bigger showcases, and Bob Barker wore a tuxedo. No celebrities... no false sense of tension... ju

Extras don't get credited. Unless they go onto their own IMDb pages and do it themselves. If Dorn was "background," he didn't have any lines, so there you are. On Thu, Feb 21, 2013 at 11:18 PM, PGage wrote: > n Thu, Feb 21, 2013 at 7:51 PM, stannc wrote: >> >> Not only was Gordy the weatherman
