    Ah ha! I came just to see if he was being listed.

    For some reason I remembered him for a magazine show with PM in the title… ???

    RIP.

    @Radioman970-

    He was the host of Hour Magazine during the 1980s, which was in competition with PM Magazine during that period- could that be the origin of the confusion?

    It would have been interesting to see if any TV obits for him merely cut to an episode of Night Gallery.
