Gotta admit always liked it when he came on
What little I saw of him, which wasn’t much
I seem to remember him doing birthday announcements

More than 60 years ago was on TV with Bozo the clown. Wore my 2 fanner 50s, chaps, a western hat and a vest.
Yup, it was Willard Scott. RIP

I remember his centurion celebrations well and even enjoyed the wholesome Smuckers commercials that followed!

Unless you meant those wild parties by the Roman soldiers.

He created Ronald MacDonald for the fast food franchise. Then, was told he would not be the mascot, though they would use his clown design.

The only decent thing to come off a truly evil show. RIP.

Last of the Joy Boys - Metro DC Icon, will be missed. He stayed pretty much apolitical on air, but occasionally showed his conservative colors

I used to listen to him and Walker on WMAL in Washington DC. They were a lot of fun.
