Richard Dawson, best known as the host of the original “Family Feud,” passed away on Saturday at the age of 79 due to complications from cancer. His other career highlights include playing Corporal Peter Newkirk on “Hogan’s Heroes,” appearing in many episodes of “Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-In,” and marrying the British Marilyn Monroe, Diana Dors. So, between all that, and the fact that he kissed “somewhere in the vicinity of 20,000″ female contestants out of “luck and love, that’s all” (including his second wife, Gretchen) on “Family Feud” AND wickedly parodied his persona in The Running Man, I’d say Dawson lived one hell of a life. R.I.P.



Ladies and Gentlemen, this is… just horrible. Words can’t express what we’re all feeling at this very moment. A great champion has fallen. We’ll be back right after these important messages.
always wondered what the Running Man board game he gave to the old lady was like.
No other man in history has made out with more women with their husband looking on and grinning like idiots.
RIP Newkirk….ahhh those rascally lockpicking skills.
He was also involved in one of my favorite game show moments ever.
his hand movements are suave and legendary…
Weird to remember that game-show hosts used to actually be good at what they did and weren’t just C- and D-list celebrities hoping to get famous again.
yeah there really aren’t any game shows anymore. Except maybe dumbass Guy Fieri’s Minute to Win it. but i thought that got cancelled. Some legendary dudes Sajak boozin’ it up, Barker banging playboy chicks, and well with a name like Wink Martindale you know he got some ass.

He’ll be back, but only in a re-run.
+1 year’s supply of Orgofura procreation pills.
Since I’m old, I remember when Dawson hosted Family Feud. Survey says, RIP.
He’s with Whitman, Price, and Haddad now.
Also a legendary Match Game panelist.
The fact that Match Game isn’t mentioned here is a _______
Seriously, Match Game should be the focus of two-thirds of his obit.
This is horrible but I thought he was dead years ago, I think I’d confused him with Ray Combs. Survey says – *bzzzzzrrrrrkt*
Who loves you and who do you love?
Did he leave Arnold enough room for his fist so he could ram it into his stomach, then break his goddamn spine?
