R.I.P. Dr. Johnny Fever (Howard Hesseman)
« on: January 30, 2022, 01:15:35 PM »
Howard Hesseman, who played one of my all-time favorite DJs, Dr. Johnny Fever, on WKRP in Cincinnati, has passed at 81.    Fever was as cool was it gets.

May the Four Winds Blow You Safely Home.

Bill, tgo

From The Committee to John From Cincinnati and beyond, a mighty talent (great enough that we'll forgive him Head Of The Class; who amongst us hasn't taken crappy gigs?).

He was actually a DJ in his younger days.

Aww maaan, that's a bummer. I loved that show. I have a really hard time memorizing lyrics, but I'm still got the WKRP theme song memorized.
