The Life and Sad Ending of Jim Lange 

Jim Lange was the host of The Dating Game which was known for having early celebrities. He was a fixture on Bay Area radio for many years.

Many others have hosted the Dating Game, but Jim was the one that was known for it. Many celebrities appeared on the Dating Game when when Jim Lange was on there. I always thought Jim looked cool the way he dressed and the glasses he wore. In the 60's modern men wore bang hairstyles in those days, which later lead to the dry look hairstyle. Jim was a natural when it came to that type of dress and hairstyle. Back in those days in the 60's and 70's the Dating Game was one of our shows that our family enjoyed. Jim Lange didn't have a sad ending he did what he loved, and the man certainly looked happy.

I enjoyed working with him on KKSJ (I was his traffic reporter). He was a very nice guy.

Always enjoyed the Dating Game when I was young when it first came on in the mid 1960s and thought Jim Lang was the perfect host for that show but just found out he passed away so for me it was sad to hear that another piece of your youth going away

I enjoyed his morning show on 960 KABL in the 90's as a teen.

the dating game was a good show. he was a very good host.he had a good long run.

Jim Lange appeared on the NBC game show scrabble starring former wheel of fortune Host Chuck woolery

Jim lange starred in a series of game shows during his long career in Hollywood Including the dating game bullseye and give and take

One of the best game show hosts Jim was a great disc jockey too. RIP

The first $1,000,000 game show Host. I watched the winning episode.

There was an announcer on CBS hockey games named Dan Kelly who sounded just like Jim Lange.

I haven't seen much of Jim Lange since Triple Threat went off the air in 1989, other than repeats of Name That Tune which had neverending stints on USA and the Family Channel. The only time I did see him was in the movie "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind" as he was interviewed a few times despite appearing different compared to his game show days although he still wore his signature glasses. I saw the movie once and it's really not the life of Chuck Barris I once knew which makes one wonder why he never appeared on To Tell The Truth. Would the real Chuck Barris please stand up?

Why does everybody who dies on this site, have a "sad" ending to their lives?

why is always a sad ending?
