I worked with Itzin a number of times in the 80s. He was always interesting, great to work with, and was a part of some of the greatest dressing-room conversations I've ever taken part in.
He'd had some health problems over the past few years, but I texted him the day the Whew! episode re-aired in November. He was surprised they were airing it again. I asked him if the TV he won worked well. "It did! For many years. Now long retired." I hadn't seen him in person in nearly 40 years, but he was always a welcome presence when he showed up on teevee. Many of the people we worked with in common celebrated him on social media today, and he deserved it. I'll miss him. --Dave Sikula On Friday, July 8, 2022 at 2:46:46 PM UTC-7 [email protected] wrote: > On Jul 8, 2022, at 10:40, Marti Lawrence <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Also gone is Gregory Itzin, who played the President on* 24* > > https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/gregory-itzin-dead-dies-24-president-logan-1235311835/ > > ~Marti > > > And he played a part in one of the more infamous moments on the > short-lived but cult-favorite 1978 game show Whew! > > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYyUzgHJxfw&t=663s > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
