Graham Kennedy is dead
I did feel something when GK died, though I have to say I'm surprised by the large amount of publicity this has received largely because I, a television addict in early middle age, don't recall finding him irresistable. When someone starts their career on TV in 1957, you'd have to assume a lot of their diehard fans have died. I remember him primarily for Blankety Blanks, which I admittedly enjoyed for a time when it was on, but it was hardly genius. When you see old clips of Gra Gra with custard pies, etc, you wonder what it was about. Obviously you had to be there.
