July 3, 20205 yr Didn't see it posted. 99 years old. https://abcnews.go.com/US/hugh-downs-broadcasting-career-spanned-century-dies-99/story?id=71586318 Seems like yesterday he was hosting 20/20, but it has been a minute.
July 4, 20205 yr Author 20/20, Dateline, 48Hours and probably a couple of other news shows all kind of blend together to me, I realized. But yeah, I can still envision him and Barbara on the toob. And that has been a while.
July 4, 20205 yr I'm old enough to remember him hosting the game show Concentration when I was a little boy. Always came across as an understated gentleman. I hope that image isn't destroyed by a revelation. RIP, Mr. Downs. Edited July 4, 20205 yr by RomaVicta
July 4, 20205 yr My Grandpa is 99. He will be 100 in December and none of us doubt he will make it. His mom died at 96, so long living is in the genes. Of course, I'm sure my Grandpa wakes up pissed every single morning that he is still here, but he will be here for at least another 6 months.
