Thank you. I have a weird feeling he's going to outlive my brothers and I.Here's to wishing him a continued healthy and longer life and many more cherished moments for the both you!
How old are you now?I can remember being 18 and thinking 60 would be long enough to live. Boy was I nuts!
Jim Fowler, the naturalist and longtime co-host and host of the TV show Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom, died Wednesday at his home in Norwalk, Connecticut, his family announced. He was 89.
Fowler, an Emmy winner for his work on the nature program, also made more than 100 appearances on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, served as a wildlife correspondent for the Today show and showed up (with a hawk) as a guest on a talk show hosted by Kramer (Michael Richards) out of his apartment on a 1997 episode of Seinfeld.
Fowler and fellow zoologist Marlin Perkins worked on Wild Kingdom starting with the pilot episode that aired on Jan. 9, 1963, through Perkins' retirement in 1985. Fowler then went it alone for a few years and returned to the show when it was revived in 2002.
I thought he was dead decades ago the way Marlin Perkins was always sending him into a hole with a poisonous snake or up a tree with a leopard.
That's how I remember every show.Marlin: "We're going to film from the blind we've built while Jim heads over to neuter that lion. And remember Wild Kingdom is brought to you by Mutual Of Omaha where we insure everyone but Jim!"
