Don Lane Dies

[roland]

Used to watch his late show a loooong time ago - along with "MoonFace"

Not a bad chap, sad to hear of his passing.

Rest in Peace

I also have great memories of the late night show, especially the wheel segment.
Thanks for those memories big Don.

Just a famous American entertainer who made it to these shores, and an all round good chap.

You've either got to be kidding, or under 40.

I'm 19.. so no, I've never heard of him.

He did a fantastic interview once with Muhammad Ali, which I saw on Youtube only weeks ago... but can't find it... really entertaining.

If anyone finds it please post!

He was funny with Bert Newton.

Yeah he gave some good interviews. His expressions used to make me laugh : )

R.I.P Don and thanks

He would close a show by signing (sign language) "I luv your faces".
For that alone ... 5 stars!

He pulled great people into interview~
RIP Don Lane

burglar, this thread is more than a year old.

Could I very politely suggest to you that it's actually not compulsory for new members to make a post in every thread that they can think of any even vaguely relevant (and many irrelevant) comments about.

I get that at the beginning you were keen to clock up your necessary number of posts so you could enter the stock picking competition. But you have done that now.

You do not have to continue to prove that you can post more frequently than any other of the thousands of people who are members of ASF.
