On the same day when Barbara Bush died, and a day after Harry Anderson (Night Court) died, it would be easy to miss the death of Carl Kasell, so I'd like to see that this does not happen.
Kasell was a broadcaster's broadcaster, blessed with a great set of pipes and a wonderful, absolutely straight delivery that NPR listeners relied on for decades. Later he revealed another, more whacky side to his personality as announcer and judge on the great radio quiz show, "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me."
Really a legendary figure in radio broadcasting.
