I looked him up for you, and I am very happy to report he's still alive!

I think his concern was more about him being some crazed nut-job ranting and raving about weird things. 🤞🏽 Glad to hear he's still alive though.

Lol! It was really late; that makes more sense.

Went back to look for scandals, but didn't see anything other than he has OCD and does advocacy work in that area. Sounds like a good dude... Been with the same wife since 1974.

Thank you for doing the leg work! I’m very glad to hear he’s evidently a decent man

I think you kinda glossed over the OCD part. He's like Howie Mandell in that they're both germaphobes. Every time Mark Summers got slime on him, or any mess, around him, he was dying inside.

Now remember what kind of show double dare was.

Yeah....
