A few weeks ago I was chatting with [name drop!] Steve O'Donnell, and for some reason he brought up Pete Fatovich and how sorry he was that when Pete died a few days after the final LS, he didn't get an on-air send-off. (1)
So that'll be my next compilation project. Began Stage 1 tonight, cataloguing Pete's LN and LS appearances. There was one bit I remembered but couldn't place until moments ago, and a giant photo in the green room sparked a memory cell. (2)

I never noticed that. I had no idea he hadn't gotten a send off. Interesting seeing as Pete was so prominent back then.
Dave gave him a nice retirement farewell on December 23, 1993. But Pete returned for countless bits, up to 2014. I think what Steve meant was an on-air eulogy from Dave, which could not have happened due to the timeline — LS had ended.
Pete was a good guy.
For my money, hard to beat one of Pete’s first appearances, in which he wasn’t seen. I believe it was 2/23/82, when the warm-up and show open was shown from the perspective of an audience member (“Earl from Yonkers”), voiced by Pete. Absolutely classic.

Oh man, Pete in the 6A control room was always a treat. I'm excited to see some lady of spain interpretations.
Was it Pete who always did the joke "What's for dinner tonight Pete? Cold shoulder and hot tongue!"
It was.
