DR. JOHNNY FEVER HAS DIED

Howard Hesseman, who portrayed the legendary Dr. Johnny Fever on WKRP in Cincinnati (for which he was nominated for two Emmys) passed away on Saturday (1/29) after complications from colon surgery

Hesseman also played Teacher Charlie Moore on the Head Of The Class sitcom … and married Ann Romano on the final episode of One Day At A Time

Howard was a fixture in both television and film, guest-starring on numerous television series over the years.  We first caught sight of him as one of the members of the comedy troupe The Committee.  He also hosted Saturday Night Live three times.  (We most recently enjoyed him in numerous episodes of the legal dramedy “Boston Legal,” which we binged during our stay-at-home weekends during Covid.)

There is truly only one fitting parting word …

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOGER!!!
