RIP Bill Raffery

[Guitar_Raph]

Comic & game show host Bill Rafferty died @ the age of 68.

He was a roving reporter for an NBC reality/comedy show called Real People. Then came the game shows which include...

Every Second Counts
Card Sharks (Synd. 1986-87)
Blockbusters (1986 version)

In his game show career, he had a catchphrase where if a new contestant is trailing, s/he was warned that they'll end up in the land of parting gifts.

"What H would Bill hopefully will be in?" (Heaven).

You will be missed.

[Type 97 Chi-ha]

And I thought I was the only one who remembered Real People.

Two memories Ihave of that show-a musician who lowered a piano into a huge water tank to play it underwater, and the part with the signs, which showed a big sign about where to park with a metal "NO PARKING" sign bolted onto it.

RIP Bill Rafferty.
