  1. I saw a taping of “The Newlywed Game” many years ago in Hollywood. It was at that time the ABC Theatre. The set was so cheap, it looked like it would blow over. He was the perfect choice for the show, being funny and quick-witted. They taped 5 shows in a day, two in the morning and 3 more after lunch. Pretty good gig, for sure.

  2. I have known bob all my life and he never quits working one of a kind who is connected to horses a great person

  3. We would attend an Western Artists Show at the ranch and we had the pleasure of meeting him and Irma, very nice couple. Remember him as a DJ and was glad to see him host game shows, he was great.
