Post by: Matt Ottinger on September 20, 2010, 05:57:09 PM
Don Pardo is retiring. (http://\"http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118024288.html?categoryID=&cs=1\")

Don Pardo is NOT retiring. (http://\"http://www.californiachronicle.com/articles/yb/149602234\")

Note that the second story is about two weeks old, and he may have changed his mind again, but it does include a quote from a family member.
