Longtime announcer Don Pardo, who was perhaps most closely associated with Saturday Night Live, but whom I also remember in connection with such shows as the original versions of The Price Is Right (hosted by Bill Cullen) and JEOPARDY! (hosted by Art Fleming), has passed away at age 96.

Yes, I remember the voice from the original Jeopardy.

Did not know he had stints with Zappa.

In connection with JEOPARDY!, he also provided the voice-over (in addition to appearing as himself) on Weird Al Yankovic's I Lost On Jeopardy.

The voice of the Illinois Enema Bandit... damn, a voice that became its own musical section in some of the better touring editions of a great touring band.
