Here’s another beloved celebrity death to add to the list… Don Pardo, Saturday Night Live‘s announcer for nearly 40 years has passed away at the ripened age of 96. As executive producer Lorne Michaels has said, Don is irreplaceable… and if you need further proof, check out this hilarious sketch from 1999 in which Don mercilessly flirts with Dawson’s Creek‘s James Van Der Beek, and threatens to spank him. OH YES, he will be missed!
Bang bang, choo-choo train, let me see you shake that thang. Wm. Steven Humphrey is the editor-in-chief of the Portland Mercury and has held the job since 2000. (So don’t get any funny ideas.) More by Wm. Steven Humphrey
