Dead, From Beautiful Downtown Burbank

Or

It’s Space Ghost

Gary Owens, who lent a polished baritone to complete and utter nonsense as the announcer on Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In, has died at the age of 80. He later voiced Roger Ramjet, a patriotic nimrod pilot on a crudely animated series – the American Dudley Do-Right. He voiced cartoon superhero Space Ghost in the 1960s, then later helped turn the long-forgotten character into a surreal star as the host of a fake late-night interview show on the Cartoon Network, going so far as to cameo in an interview segment with himself. He voiced the Blue Falcon, a parody of Batman, with falcon gadgets and a falcon belt and idiot robot sidekick Dynomutt filling the role of the easily kidnappable Robin.
