Survey says...

Richard Dawson, the original host of "Family Feud" passed away yesterday. He was 79. Ironically, his death is on the 16th anniversary of the tragic death of his successor, Ray Combs.

^^Didn't see the American version of the game show Family Feud. In New Zealand back in the early to mid 90s they were showing the Australian version. I only knew of Richard Dawson due to someone uploading a youtube vid a few years back of a blooper where he looses it in a state of laughter [Laugh]

As I was reading your link, was suprised that he was in Hogans Heroes, and in my mind made an instant connection of who he was in the programme, he was the airforce guy. Not a huge fan of Hogans Heroes but have watched alot of episodes growing up as they still replay them on tv from back then to today.

Went and IMDB'd him and was also surprised that he was in the RUNNING MAN where Arnold has alot of crazy catch phrases. Like.... Some Chick: "What happened to Buzzsaw?" Arnold: "He had to split"..... I was gonna say the Subzero one but I guess that one would fall back on me [Wink]

....

RIP

From YouTube, here's the full unaired pilot episode that led to his show's success. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XPKLw_rkaU

...And an entire episode of his brief comeback to "Family Feud" in 1994 after Combs was fired the previous season.
