This is Someone Who Isn't Living Anymore. Jerry Garcia Was a Grateful One. Zombies Are Walking....

Bob Stewart, who helped make sure Americans knew how much a jar of maraschino cherries cost, has died at the age of 91. Stewart also helped introduce to Stupid Pet Tricks as the producer of  a 1980 daytime talk show on NBC starring David Letterman, an occasional panelist on Pyramid, although he quit 4 days before the debut due to creative disagreements. Stewart had about as impressive a debut as any TV producer ever. In his first meeting with Mark Goodson of Goodson-Todman Productions, the definitive hit-makers in TV game shows, Stewart pitched a show called Three of a Kind, in which three contestants would claim to be the same person while a panel tried to ascertain who was being honest. Goodson wasn’t sold. Stewart’s next pitch? The Auctioneer, in which contestants would guess the prices of consumer goods. While Stewart was about as good at naming things as Frank Zappa, To Tell the Truth and The Price is Right combined to yield 81 years of lovely parting gifts and counting. Other creations included Password, aka The Betty White Open, The $10,000 Ziggurat, where Nipsey Russell showed how to rhyme “harvester,” and The Love Experts, a 1-year wonder where a panel of celebrities provided non-binding arbitration to members of love triangles. Stewart will be remembered at 5 short funerals held in one day, with special guest stars Jo Anne Worley, Charlie Siebert, Betty White, Carl Reiner and Adrienne Barbeau.
