augolf1716 21,216 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Bet every member of AUFamily has heard his voice at least once. He had an amazing career. I know one of his daughters Paula who lives here in Orlando. The story's she can tell about Johnny Carson and many other are great to hear. She also cusses like a sailor and has definite opinions on everything. You never know what's go to come out of her mouth. Pardo's booming baritone voice was part of game shows, newscasts and TV commercials for more than 60 years. In later years, he recorded his famous ‘SNL’ introductions from his home in Arizona, and he continued at the show through the end of last season, when he performed the introductions on the finale in May.
