A Legend Lost: Toronto Mourns The Death Of Mark Dailey - CityNews

This guy is an icon here in Toronto, I don't remember TV without him.

[Brazoo]

Oh no!

I can't remember TV without him either. I always loved the snide little comments he'd squeeze in while announcing cheap late night shlock movies. He was also one of the few news reporters I genuinely liked.

57 is too young - he's really going to be missed.

My favourite thing he ever did was at 3 am he was announcing the movie "Life, Liberty and Pursuit on the Planet of the Apes" and you could hear the cards drop mid sentence and he just said "Who cares?".

[Brazoo]

Haha - Yup, that's our man!

I'm trying to remember some of his late night movie quips, but I can't.

I just saw his tribute on CityTV news. They showed some great moments. I didn't even know he was sick.

Damn, that's a real shame. I never heard of him in my younger years because we didn't have cable and City TV's signal was too weak to reach us out in the sticks (which always bugged me because when I flipped through the TV Guide they always seemed to air such cool stuff on that channel) but later on I became a City addict when I finally got cable, and Mark really was the voice of City, I liked him. He'll be highly missed.
