He was on TV forever and now holds the record for most hours on TV. I first remember him as the sidekick for Joey Bishop around 1967 on Bishop's nighttime show that competed against Johnny Carson, and hence didn't last long. I never thought Philbin would amount to any sort of TV success, as his only meager entertainment skill seemed to be talking and banter. Who knew. |

I would have bet any amount of money that he died at age 85 at least 15 years ago.

Quote: |
Smith, who had been a back-up singer (and occasional drug supplier) to the Canadian rockers who would later become The Band (she claimed “The Weight” was inspired by her), admitted to injecting Belushi with the heroin and cocaine that led to his death at age 33. In a 1986 plea bargain, she pleaded no contest to involuntary manslaughter and several drug charges and served a 15-month prison sentence at California Institution for Women. |

Mr. Ruby and Mr. Spears had been working mostly as editors at Hanna-Barbera, the leading TV animation studio, when they were charged with creating a show that was a mash-up of “I Love a Mystery,” a popular radio show heard from 1939 to 1944 about three adventure-seeking pals; the 1948 horror-comedy movie “Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein”; and “The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis,” the 1959-63 sitcom about a hapless teenager. |

Apparently Tom was affected by Covid. Sad....even a legend is humanly vulnerable.
