For those of us that don't know what were the circumstances behind Frank Wayne's departure from 'The Price Is Right'? Did he pass away while he was still executive producer?

Was that a career?
For those keeping score, she was a panelist on the most recent pilot for a MG revival. At least her ample body was there.

I like the line in the new Broadway musical Curtains:

"In terms of future performances, Jessica Cranshaw now has a conflict."
This has been another installment of Matt Ottinger's Masters of the Obvious.
Stay tuned for all the obsessive-compulsive fun of Words Have Meanings.

I believe it was Michael O'Donohue who said, when informed of Elvis's death, "good career move."
This isn't a plug, but you can ask me about my book.

It was also a dream come true for a certain former emcee. (Merely my opinion. You can't sue me for expressing my opinion.)

And don't call me bitch :-P
