The first American Idol. Rest in peace pal. What A great talent from a golden age of music and television.

Another part of our childhood is gone.

By the time I was a kid in West Philly, he had already moved his show but the building where he did it is still in use. It stands a few blocks from where I used to live.

I read an interview where he said his entire childhood he never drank anything but water and milk. No soda, Koolaid nothing. He was convinced his youthful appearance, well into his 60's, was a direct result of that upbringing.

I think the 2013 Times Square glitter ball will be a lot less shiny when it drops.

Holy Cats! I'll miss his New Year's Eve appearances...I hope they continue to honor him by keeping the name no matter who does it.
RIP

That's a shame.

Let's not forget he was a game show host too

... and he was Mr Bloopers

Didn't he even invent the the term "Blooper" ?

RIP

Wow, cool.

He was never on TV in the countries I've lived in, but I still know the guy was a legend.

82 isn't a bad innings.

[Brown Bear]

Aww man, that's sad.
