Re: Yet another RIP: Fred Travalena
I've heard the name but don't remember him at all. The article said he was on Carson's Tonight Show regularly but I don't remember him at all on it. Sounded as though he was mainly a big Vegas act.

Re: Yet another RIP: Fred Travalena
In the 70's he was always like #2 impressionist behind Rich Little.

Re: Yet another RIP: Fred Travalena
I remember him on The Tonight Show and I think he was on game shows fairly often - Hollywood Squares, etc.

Re: Yet another RIP: Fred Travalena
He was a great impressionist. RIP.
Glad I'm not a celeb right now.

Daytime talk shows like Dinah Shore and Mike Douglas and celebrity game shows like Hollywood Squares, Match Game, the Gong Show and Liar's Club created a sub-class of c-list celebrities in the 70's: Paul Lynn, Bret Sommers, Charles Nelson Reilly, Norm Crosby, Charlie Callas, Mel Tillis, JP Morgan, etc....

Re: Yet another RIP: Fred Travalena
I remember him well, but if we're going to keep this superstition going, don't you think we need some kind of ranking, such as value above replacement celebrity?

Re: Yet another RIP: Fred Travalena
The really scary part is, that with the combination of the "six degrees of separation" principle and the "they always seem to go in threes" paradigm, I expect us all to be gone by the middle of next week.
