I worked with Tom on two different game shows back in the 70's. I did cue cards for the shows and had a wonderful time working with him. I was in my 20's at the time and I remember a party he hosted at his home for all of the cast involved with his shows. I wasn't sure how to get home after the party was winding down. Tom overheard me and walked me out to his front porch, pointing out the streets I would need to take. Such a gracious and kind man. One of the best in the game show business!
I had the pleasure of meeting both Tom and Jack at Game Show Congress. Both kind and gracious gentlemen and two of my favorite game show personalities.
Tom Kennedy hosted ``Dr. IQ'' ``Split Second,'' ``Break The Bank,'' ``50 Grand Slam'' ``To Say The Least'' ``Name That Tune,'' ``Whew!'' ``Password Plus,'' ``Body Language'' ``The Nighttime Price Is Right'' and ``Wordplay.''
1.) That’s a perfect & succinct description of Kennedy. 👍 2.) Something weird’s going on because Name That Tune came up w my folks today. I decided to look up an episode (it was from ‘77), and noticing his age THEN, I thought I’d look him up, only to find he had passed away only a few WEEKS ago! 😳 93?!! What a great, long life for such a seemingly solid guy. ✌️ RIP.
