“Your make-up artist did a wonderful job cleaning up the liver spots on my face. Any chance she can work another miracle on the load of prunes in my trousers?”

Most recognized for: Having been on the air in 9 different decades, Mr. Wolff was the longest running broadcaster in TV & radio history. Getting his start at 18, he’s called play-by-play for baseball, basketball, football, hockey, and even the Westminster Kennel Club Show. Whether this is evidence of a great talent or someone who – no matter the situation – simply cannot shut the fukk up… you be the judge.
