Attended a Hollywood Squares taping (3 episodes) in the late 70s or 1980. Marshall had a weird denigrating reaction to one of the prizes in one of the shows, when they went to commercial some voice from above scolded him for that, but they didn't reshoot it.
Any child of the 80s remembers Phil Donahue as a classy mid day talk show icon before it turned to smut (or at least we assumed as much because our moms watched).
Singer and actor James Darren, born James Ercolani, 88. South Philly native. I, of course, most remember him as the holodeck crooner Vic Fontaine on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
RIP. He starred in at least two baseball movies, Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars & Motor Kings and, of course, Field of Dreams. Supposedly, he wasn’t much of a baseball fan.
Letterman posted some highlights of James Earl Jones over the years. They are really good and I have no idea how Jones did not crack up reading the Top 10 lists. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OU98cp6mG385
