Gary Owens, Announcer On "Laugh In," R.I.P.

Gary Owens, a radio and television announcer best remembered for his deadpan, droll delivery as the announcer on the 1968-73 comedy-variety NBC TV series Rowan and Martin's Laugh In, passed away on Thursday at his Los Angeles home at age 80.

Mr Owens had struggled with diabetes.

Besides his duties on Dan and Dick's show, Gary was also known for doing numerous cartoon voice characterizations.

He was the voice of the title character on the CBS Network cartoon series Space Ghost (1966-67), which was produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions.
