When my mother was growing up one of her idols was Richard Dawson and I would like to know if he's still living or has he passed away? Because I have never seen Richard do appearences on TV anymore and as far as I know he's retired now, Is Richard Dawson alive today?, Tiki
Welcome to the TV.com Forums for Richard Dawson. Here is your area to discuss, dissect and debate all things about this person.
He is one of the most talented actors I have seen. Comedy is hard to do and he was great at it. Too bad he didn't receive the recognition he deserved. I truly believe he could have been a big star. I've just recently seen The Devil's Brigade and he had a fairly decent role. He portrays all of his characters very well. I watch him everyday on Family Feud and Match Game and even today 30 some years later he still makes me and hundreds more laugh. That just proves what an outstanding performer he was and should be today.
I best remember him on the TV show 'Family Feud' he was the original host. He would kiss all the women. Get t-shirts from people and just make the show fun. He was also very good as a regular panelist on the game show 'Match Game'. He was always chosen as the one who would do the last question. He would kiss the women and shake hands with the men, something that would carry on when he was on 'Family Feud'. He also played a dramatic part in the TV show 'Hogan Heroes' about people held as prisoners of war.
"Sweeter than honey" was one of many responses to Richard Dawson's kisses. "If I could come home to that kind of greeting, I would make my husband steak every night!",was another. The contestants would look foward to the warm welcome given to them before taping started,and while they were on stage,so why did the powers-to-be see to it that Dawson was fired. And,when ratings were taking a nose- dive, they called Dawson back only to demand he lose 30 pounds in order to stay host of the show.I think that gameshow hosts should be graded by how good they do their jobs,not how much they weight.
Richard is one of the all time great actors on various game shows. I always thought Richard was a calm, and cool guy, who always looked relaxed on the job. He made watching shows like the Match Game good, because all the freaks around him were annoying, and he was like, the normal one out of those people. Richard was also a classic show host on Family Feud, which was also a pretty goo show, from which I think he helped make so fun to watch.
Richard Dawson I loved not just on Family Feud but
On Match Game during those early days. I would had
Rated him a ten but he had a little ego going on
Thanks to not just Match Game but Family Feud.
When he was hosting FF, that is when his ego spunned
Out of control and as a result, he left the Match
Game on very bad terms.
