    He lived a good long life, and entertained a lot of people along the way.

        RIP. I enjoyed his voice work and on-screen roles. He had a memorable bit on Columbo as a driving instructor that I recall fondly.

          Fantasy Island had him on speed dial. Rarely was he the guest having the fantasy, Storch mainly was the nemesis for recurring guests like Bob Denver or Ken Berry.

              To me, he'll always be the Joker.

                Storch was a very talented voice actor, but that's not him. That's Ted Knight.
                You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                  IMDB has Storch listed as Joker for the Batman Scooby Doo team up, where the clip is from, and Ted Knight as Penguin.

                    IMDB and Wikipedia aren't always 100 percent accurate. Only Ted Knight is listed in the actual credits for Scooby Doo Meets Batman.



                    Only Ted Knight is listed in the credits for the Filmation Batman cartoon.



                    Storch as the Joker in Filmation Batman and Scooby Doo is an often repeated but seldom corrected error. It's almost an urban myth at this point.

                    Storch was a very talented voice actor and comedian. But he did not voice the Joker.

                      I thought Knight did all the foes in Filmation '67. And in Scooby, it still sounds like him but not exactly as before.

                      I thought Filmation '77 was Storch.

                          Yeah, that Storch/Joker thing really has taken root, but it's not true. He did a lot of other Filmation voiceover work, so I can see how it started.

                            It's a total Mandella effect thing! I thought I was on crazy pills because I remember only Ted Knight doing that voice.
