...Some of the older folks on here may remember him. He was a host of one of those kid shows that also had some adult humor in it. I remember watching it growing up. My brothers and I loved it, but my Dad thought it was stupid. But, he let us watch it because it kept us quiet for awhile.

His sons, Tony and Hunt Sales were musicians who played on Todd Rundgren's Runt LP, Iggy Pop's Lust For Life and Bowie's Tin Machine.

This is the first I've heard of his passing. He was a very funny man in his day.

Me too, actually. According to what I read, he died yesterday... heard nothing about it until today.

Yes, a funny man. I remember him as a staple guest on many gameshows in the '70s. RIP, sir...

I used to love that show. I still remember the joke that got him in trouble.
Rest in peace.

Very Sad for him passing. Seems like a man who worked constantly in his day, stayed out of the tabloids later, and lived a long life.
