RIP Darren McGaven

Not a day after Don Knotts was announced dead, Darren McGaven, who died at the age of 83 of natural causes in Los Angeles. For game show fans (thanks to IMDb, because I wouldn’t have a clue normally), he was featured on a ton of game shows, like Family Feud, Celebrity Sweepstakes, TattleTales, It Takes Two, Password, and To Tell The Truth. I would think that GSN will be giving some sort of tribute. For non-game show freaks, Darren McGaven was featured in five TV series, like “Mike Hammer”, but is probably most known by a semi-younger crowd for his role as Ralphie’s dad in the classic comedy “A Christmas Story”. His final role was on the pilot “Night Stalker” in 2005 as, and I’m serious, Reporter Standing At Desk.
