(fade to Greg, John Davidson, and Chuck Woolery standing in front of the car)



Greg: On February 19th of this year, we lost a dear friend and a quality member of the Grundy family. Art Ferguson, better known as Charlie Tuna, passed away at the age of 71 in his sleep. Charlie was well known not only for announcing shows like Scrabble and $ale of the Century, but also in the field of radio.


Chuck: I'll always remember the good times I had working with Charlie on Scrabble.


John: Don't forget Time Machine.


Chuck: Oh, who could forget that?


Greg: Apparently NBC. I enjoyed listening to him announce on YouTube and elsewhere. Grundy and NBC will be donating a million dollars each in Charlie's name to the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles’ Helping Hands Fund. We'll miss you, Charlie.


John: Goodbye, old friend.
