(FOX NEWS) – Greg Gumbel, who broadcast the NFL
on CBS and served as the network’s studio host for
March Madness, has died after a bout with cancer.     

Anthony Tiran "Tony" Todd (1954 – 1924)

(AP) — Actor Tony Todd, known for his haunting portrayal of
a killer in the horror film “Candyman” (1992) and roles in many
other films and television shows, is dead. He was 69.

Todd’s films include Platoon (1986)
as Sergeant Warren.

One of television’s best-known personalities, Johnny Carson,
the iconic host of "The Tonight Show" for 30 years, was born
on this day in history, on Oct. 23, 1925.

Carson had Midwestern roots and was born John William
Carson in Corning, Iowa.

The Code of Practices for Television Broadcasters, also known
as the Television Code, was a set of ethical standards adopted
by the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) of the United
States for television programming from 1952 to 1983.

The code was created to self-regulate the industry in hopes of
avoiding a proposed government Advisory Board and satisfying
parental concerns over violence and other matters.  

He already had a few TV credits to his name at the time, the
first being an episode of Armstrong Circle Theatre in 1959
on CBS, a 31- year – old Robert Duvall introduced himself
to many audiences in 1962 with a silent and inscrutable 
stare with his film debut as Boo Radley, the harmless
oddball neighbor in the Robert Mulligan-directed, Horton
Foote-written adaptation of Harper Lee’s To Kill a
Mockingbird.
 

 

Robert Selden Duvall will be 94 on January
5, 2025.
