Sad. I will always remember how he kept a straight face while interviewing the craziest people.

Strange how Gene was 76. Darryl Dragon was 76 and Bob Einstein was 76. Not a good day to be 76 I suppose. RIP to the 3 of them

Too bad. He was so funny, standing between two giants, being all serious and stuff! Woo!
