I miss the days when he showed up on CNBC looking for stock tips. I wonder if he ever sold his Micron? lol. He seemed like a happy dude and he lived a pretty long life. RIP Mr. Philbin.
Damn, I had no idea he was nearly 89. Sad to hear of his passing. I rarely watched him, but he seemed like a very nice guy.
Sorry to bomb a thread about another celeb death, but I just read Kelly Preston died in Houston about a week ago (cancer).
A lot of old timers are coming due. Clint Eastwood is 90. Gene Hackman is 90. Dustin Hoffman is 83. Robert Duvall is 89. Robert De Niro is 77. Harrison Ford is 78. Cicely Tyson is 98... Ed Asner is 91... Sean Connery, William Shatner are 89...Michael Caine is 87... Hell Olivia DeHavilland Is 106 and still active.
He was a funny guy and funny to imitate for comedians like Dana Carvey. And, he didn’t care. He was in on the joke. He was a master at what he did! RIP
