Uh oh. This is a great day for Siegfried, and KAOS
You sure it's not the ol "Don Adams died yesterday and got posted on FTE trick?"
second time I fell for that this week.
I'll miss ya Don.
Hymie and agent 44 (disguised as my coffee up) will too.

When I read the thread title, I was tempted to ask, "What did he pass?" But I won't.

Let's not forget he was also the voice of Tennesee Tuxedo. And he also drove a Karman Ghia, and there were appearances by a customized 66 Mustang fastback and a convertible Shelby. Hopefully TVLand will do a Get Smart marathon.

Any of the older crowd here know which movie star he based the voice of Agent 86 on? You'd have to be a real fan of "golden era of Hollywood" to know this one. Don Adams started his career impersonating famous people, so it was only natural he'd pick a famous "private eye" to emulate.
