Mr. Pardo was 96; he joined NBC before I was even born! " He began his announcing career at NBC Radio as a war reporter during World War II and remained at the network his entire life.... A member of the Television Academy Hall of Fame, he and Bob Hope are the only people ever awarded a lifetime contract at NBC. He finally retired from NBC in 2004 and considered retiring from SNL too, but Michaels successfully kept him on the show until last season’s finale.

Please report to me if anything really crazy happens (reports on the "Show unread posts..." bug are still okay, but I really don't know what to do about that). Regards, Jeff Wexler
