I am sorry to hear this. He was a staple on TV in the 60s and 70s, the mid-century era of American television.

I know which guy this is. He was the one involved in the "Testimony" incident on Super Password.

Password was nothing without Allen Ludden. Accept no substitutes.

That was a real start-studded episode of Super Password. Bert Convy as host, with Patty Duke-Astin and Rip Taylor. You don’t see game shows like this anymore.

I confess, I never liked him. But, it is sad that he died.

The toupeé that Rip was sporting looked a lot better than that helmet on Bert Convy’s head.  ;D
