I rather thought it was only a matter of time as he always liked to inlclude those close calls to add an element of danger in his shows and attract viewers. He should have taken theMarlin Perkins approach from way back: "Let me tell you about Mutual of Omaha while Jim here wrestles that black bear...."



God speed you whacky buckaroo!
