The longtime Saturday Night Live announcer died Aug. 18 at 96. Pardo got his start delivering news updates on the radio during World War II and later worked as an announcer for shows, including The Colgate Comedy Hour, Winner Takes All, The Price Is Right and Jeopardy!. He was the first to announce to NBC viewers that President John F. Kennedy had been shot on Nov. 22, 1963. Except for Season 7 from 1981-82, Pardo, with his booming baritone, had served as SNL's announcer every year. In recent years, he began recording only the show's intro, and did so from his home in Tucson, Ariz.
