I was madly in love with his partner, agent 99, at one time.
"Missed it by 'that much'."
RIP Mr. Adams.
I'll miss him by that much! Great voice actor!
He was worth two 43s.

His car was awesome - Sunbeam Tiger.
I'm rather proud of myself for getting this scoop before the MSM.
I still am.
She'll always hold a special place in my heart.
I still refer to the 'Cone of Silence' every time we have issues with teleconferencing equipment. :-)
And let's not forget Tennessee Tuxedo, either!
Get Smart was one of my favorite shows and Don was one of my favorite comedians. RIP Don
My hero...RIP...
I will meet you under the cone of silence and we will discuss our mutual attraction for agent 99.....
Or was that the "dome of silence"?
Tennessee Tuxedo

Tennesee Tuxedo was introduced on CBS-TV in response to the 1961 speech by FCC Chairman Newton R. Minow which addressed television as a "vaste wasteland". Tennessee, voiced by comedian Don Adams ( who portrayed Maxwell Smart on Get Smart, and later voiced Inspector Gadget ), educated as well as entertained youngsters.

"In 1941, he dropped out of school to join the Marines, lying about his age. In Guadalcanal he survived the deadly blackwater fever and was returned to the States to become a drill instructor, acquiring the clipped delivery that served him well as a comedian."
I never knew that.
RIP Don.
99 is now a news anchor, I think...
