    I loved supermarket sweep, especially when they had to collect the random inflatables like bananas! He had a great charisma as a presenter. RIP

    RIP.

    Just reading, his father died on the day of his Bar-Mitzvah and he found his mother dead from a drug overdose.

    Talk about tragedy.

    That's another string to his bow, cameo appearance on a truly legendary movie.

    HELLO SHOPPERS...!!! :)


    He made Supermarket Sweep a decent daytime show. He came across as a very fun guy.

    62 is very young really

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.
