I loved whenever Gene Wood made some on camera appearances on the game shows he announced. I thought his announcing on Tattletales and Family Feud were pretty good.
True. Just like now Bob Barker is reunited with all of his colleagues. Along with his two sidekicks johnny olson and Rod Roddy. actually, every last one of them is reunited with their bosses Mark Goodson, and Bill Todman.
@@tvtimetravel i’m glad someone was thinking what I was thinking. every last one of them is all gone to Gameshow heaven. But we do have one survivor who I don’t think worked for Goodson toddman production. That is Johnny Gilbert.
It seems like these great people have wonderful chemistry. Here they are. Peter Tamarkin and Rod Roddy, Bob Barker and johnny olson, Drew Carey in Richfield's, Alex Trebek and Johnny Gilbert, pat Sajack and Charlie O'Donnell, and of course Richard Dawson and gene wood. May he rest in peace.
This was my very 1st favorite game show & the 1st one I ever watched too. They were the host & announcer of Family Feud when I was born. I was at least 3, maybe younger when I started watching Family Feud. They were a great team, Richard & Gene. Nobody could ever replace them for sure. Once you get used to someone being a host or announcer of a show, it is nearly impossible to ever truly adjust to anyone else after that. Your 1st experience of that show with the staff that they have at the time is irreplaceable & unforgettable. It's engraved in you permanently. This show has had some really great hosts: Richard Karne, John OHurley, Ray Combs Jr & many others; & now, Steve Harvey. All have done an amazing job as well. But, for me, Richard Dawson & Gene Wood will always be Family Feud. What they were to this show, is no different than my other favorite game shows: The Price Is Right (with Bob Barker & Rod Roddy), Wheel of Fortune (with Pat Sajak & Vanna White) & many others. All of which there is no replacement for those who were the original staff of those shows before or just after I was born. They all brought those shows to life & kept life in them forever. They are all TV Legends in our minds & hearts & all deserve a huge pat on the back, a big hug from us all & most of all, a huge thank you for doing such a great job & for all the great years of funloving entertainment, etc... As a huge fan of them all, I can honestly say that watching them around the time I started going to school, & the excitement of seeing them on TV & watching their shows is no different than being excited to see your Dad come home from work every day. They're a huge part of you & your life. Even though, you've never met any of them. :)
Gene's reaction to trying those cookies would be what I would do if I ever tried toasted ravioli, a St. Louis favorite. I have friends from St. Louis who live in Santa Clarita so it could hopefully work for me.
I know your comment is 11 years old, but on The Price is Right, Bob Barker too didn't have the same chemistry and rapport with Rod Roddy that he had with Johnny Olson, even though that's a bit of a different story because Johnny passing away is why Rod took his place as Price is Right Announcer and Richard was still alive when Ray replaced him as the host of Family Feud.
@kymarcin He also hosted a Canadian-based game show called Anything You Can Do from the first season (1971-1972), then was replaced by Don Harron (aka "Charlie Farquharson" from Hee Haw) for the next two seasons.
Ironically today that role is filled by Burton Richardson, who was done the Davidson and Barker Price Is Right (and is Rich Fields' backup) and starts his 10th season on Family Feud in September.
It says on wikipedia that Gene died of cancer, but it doesn't say what kind of cancer it was. Does anyone know? I read on another video's comments section that Gene was a smoker.
I liked this tribute to the Best Family Feud announcer.. It's always cool to see Gene Wood's face on television. I would have like to see some Feud 94 clips with Gene in this montage as well. Sorry Burton you're a good announcer, but you and the Fat one can't compare to Mr. Gene Wood.
Gene Wood and Johnny Olson were the greatest announcers in classic game show history. They will be great missed.
And has marvelous senses of humor!!! I miss them too!!!
Gene Wood was one of the greatest announcers of all time and is greatly missed!
I loved whenever Gene Wood made some on camera appearances on the game shows he announced. I thought his announcing on Tattletales and Family Feud were pretty good.
Now Gene and Richard are happily reunited, along with all of their other colleagues in game show heaven!

@@kayandaeddings4803 My thougts exactly!

@@kayandaeddings4803 I think Johnny Gilbert subbed on a few Goodson shows.
@@tvtimetravel now that I think about it, he did do the price is right for a little bit in the 1960s when he took over for the late Don Pardo.
RIP Gene Wood (1925-2004) and Richard Dawson (1932-2012).
Ten years later, we still remember and love you Gene and your legendary voice!
Gene Wood + Johnny Olson = perfect!
One of the best in the business the one and only Gene Wood
My childhood hero!!! I miss you Gene.
Gene Woods has such a great laugh!
Great montage! RIP Gene.
They don't make 'em like Gene Wood anymore...
Or Johnny Olson.

Happy heavenly 90th birthday dearest Gene!
Best
I loved Gene Wood on "Beat the Clock" and never understood why he wasn't a host on other game shows.
This video made me cry. The song just broke me out.
ElectroNetwork this Video Makes me cry too.

very kind, thoughtful remembrance ...
thank you.
God Fucking Bless The Great Gene Wood!! Truly a King Among Gods!
I agree
I remember on one All-Star Family Feud, Gene Wood appeared on camera in a tuxedo but can't remember which one it is (it was on the syndicated one).
Gene Wood was to Family Feud as Johnny Olson was to Price is right.
Gene Wood never had the same chemistry & rapport with Ray Combs that he had with Richard Dawson.
I know your comment is 11 years old, but on The Price is Right, Bob Barker too didn't have the same chemistry and rapport with Rod Roddy that he had with Johnny Olson, even though that's a bit of a different story because Johnny passing away is why Rod took his place as Price is Right Announcer and Richard was still alive when Ray replaced him as the host of Family Feud.
Gene Wood was born in 1925 not 1934. He had the best laugh.
Oliver, who sang "Good Morning Starshine" and "Jean", sings the song.

Say hello to Johnny Olsen and Rod Roddy for me! Also,
Rich Jeffries did a real job of filling in for you at times! RIP.:_(
Gene Wood was born in 1925, not 1934.
I said the same thing.
You are correct.
How on earth did we go from Gene Wood to Joey Fatone??
steelersfan7238 Good questions
Burton Richardson in between.
The way Gene falls at 0:51 is pretty funny. I could never fall like that.
I remember when Gene Wood would appear on Beat the Clock to help people win.
He was also a host on Beat The Clock in New York.
Why did you squish the picture?
@LadyRocker4NR And they also were great warm-up acts as well!
Burton Richardson is the new Gene Wood these days.
@kymarcin He also hosted a Canadian-based game show called Anything You Can Do from the first season (1971-1972), then was replaced by Don Harron (aka "Charlie Farquharson" from Hee Haw) for the next two seasons.

@coolwafferman, Bob Barker and Rod Roddy
I laughed when gene died of deliciousness
