Here in Australia we called him the Lanky Yank.
He was host of the Don Lane show from 1975 to 1983.
Can anyone remember him?
His side kick was Bert Newton.
How is he doing now?
according to wikipedia he passed away In June 2008, it was announced that Lane was suffering from Alzheimer’s disease and had been living in a care facility for a number of years. News of Lane’s condition was saddening for the entertainment community in Australia who viewed him as a TV legend. This explained the lack of public appearances that Lane had made since his induction into the Logie Awards Hall of Fame in 2003.
Died 22 October 2009 (aged 75)

I used to work on his show bringing the dogs and horse racing from Harold Park in the late 1960s when I worked for TCN9 and Sir Frank Packer!
That one passed me by. Although I probably heard about it but have forgotten after 15 years.
