-'''Don Pardo''' (February 22, 1918 - August 18, 2014) was an American radio and television 'announcer', best known for his work for NBC since the early 1950s. In 1975, by the time of his announcing for "[[Saturday Night Live]]", Don was a "trash-culture icon" - his name a 'household word' if you will - for his years with a few wildly popular game shows.

 When [[Biography|Frank]] appeared as guest-host & musical guest on Saturday Night Live in [[76/12/11_Saturday_Night_Live_NBC|1976]], he had [[I'm The Slime]] in the set-list - a song that calls for an 'announcer type' voice.

Zappa must have been pleased with the result, as he had Don reprise that role for the NYC Palladium run later that month.
