[@carmensandiego328]

Charlie O’Donnell was a wonderful and well spoken announcer for all the shows he did including Dick Clark’s American bandstand and especially Wheel Of Fortune. Charlie had an amazing and lovely voice he was a true and valued member of the wheel of fortune family. We miss you every day Charlie and your incredible voice. RIP Charlie O’Donnell 1932-2010

[@kayandaeddings4803]

RIP to the ones who has left us. Charlie O'Donnell, Dick Clark, Jack Clark, Johnnie Olsen, Rod Roddy, Jean would, Richard Dawson, and Peter Tamarkin. May each and everyone of these host and announcers rest in peace. Oh!. I can't forget Gene Rayburn, and Bert Convy. It looks like the only ones that's left standing is Johnny Gilbert, and Alex Trebek. Oh! Although he is not on the price is right, Bob Barker is still around as well.

[@TRodge2495]

Don Pardo, as well. He got me into announcing and trying to find my voice.

[@kayandaeddings4803]

+Triston Rogers I didn't know about Don Pardo until months ago. He outlived all of these announcers. I don't know how he did it.

[@blind_t2]

Triston Rogers hopefully, if they do it, and you start announcing, i'd like to see you announce 2 shows, price is right, and the annual run of the Macy's Parade.

[@zachgagnon343]

Kayanda Eddings Don't Forget Drew Carey Rich Fields & George Gray

[@chaupin5]

Kayanda Eddings loved Johnny Olson, Charlie O'Donnell! They were awesome

[@donaldhsmiley5723]

I tried my damnedest to hone my voice to sound like Mr. O'Donnell but ended up sounding like Gary Owens and a sick Gene Wood. These guys shaped our TV landscape for generations. The announcers of the shows that shaped our lives were the true stars!

[@johnnyballenatl]

@MrMatt4163 The only show Narz announced on was the 1979-80 version of Beat The Clock (with Monty Hall).

[@carmensandiego328]

It’s a real shame that Michelle‘s $1 million win was the only $1 million win that Charlie ever got to announce.

[@bluebear1985]

I'm not sure if you've seen it, but there is a clip that has been posted from "The All-New Dating Game" in 1988 where Charlie is the bachelor choosing from three bachelorettes. It's a great clip.

[@johnnyballenatl]

Bullseye, All-Star Secrets, and Monopoly were already featured in other tributes as well; I can't include them all!
