R.I.P. David Frost

[MikeandRaph87]

David Frost, famed British journalist has died at the age of 74. He suffered a ftal heart attack shortly before giving a speech aboard the Queen Elizabeth cruise ship this afternoon. He is most known for interviewing famous politicans and celebrities from the likes of Lennon and McCartney to the famed Nixon Interviews from 1978 when Tricky Dick came as close as he could to admitting his guilt as a nice substitute for the impeachment. Most probably know him from the film Frost/Nixon that Ron Howard adapted from the stage production. Well respected in many countries he was not just known for his interviews but his hosting abilities especially with game shows. He was married twice briefly but known for his womanizing it did not last and he has no family of his own but is survived by his sisters and thier families. Its odd that he passed today as I only thought of him this morning when I saw a limited release called Our Nixon was playing.

Such a shame. He will be missed. R.I.P.

He died hours after ITV had revived a tv series he had hosted in the 80s/90s called "Through the Keyhole". Considering the person hosting the new one was Keith Lemon, it's little wonder why he took the stroke:roll:

For years David Frost was just that guy who had the boring news programme that was on before weekend cartoons, but as I got older I started to explore some of the satirical programmes he was involved in - the man was decades ahead of his time.

Plus, I think it's fair to say that without David Frost, we wouldn't have had Monty Python, and the landscape of comedy would be much poorer for it.

RIP.
