And the survey says?? No...

But seriously, he was a funny man... I'll always remember him from Hogans Heroes and Match Game 75...

Read it a few minutes earlier. He was very entertaining, and good at his job.

Dawson's first wife was supposed to be England's version of Marilyn Monroe: http://www.imdb.com/media/rm2723715072/nm0002047 Newkirk finally escaped!

He seemed to get cranky and irritable the last few years of the show. I didn't blame him though. Those families were annoying.

I just heard on twitter. It's sad he was by far my favorite family feud host and a favorite on the match game too. Also somewhat of a meme between my friends. Along with whispering "the password is... "

Was it a kissing disease?

Seriously, he kissed EVERY woman that came on the Family Feud at least once...

@capguncowboy: You beat me to it. That was my first thought as well.

I read that he met his second wife on Fued. Maybe that's why he kissed them all - tryouts!

Sad times. Celebrities from that era were truly a different breed. When I look at shows like Match Game from back then and how the celebrities were vs how things are now there's simply no comparison.

I saw an old episode while on vacation, and I just wanted to call the police. You can't do what he did and not go to jail these days.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
