RIP Ernie Anderson 1923-1997

Ernie Anderson was born on this date in 1923.  He's Paul Thomas Anderson's father.  He created one of the first horror movie hosts (who disregarded the movie) in the country (Ghoulardi or Goulardi, depending on who you ask) in Cleveland.  But he's best known to decades of viewers as the voice of the ABC network.  All those promos for "The Love Boat" and "Growing Pains" and "America's Funniest Home Videos" have his voice all over them.  He did a great deal of other voiceover work, too.  On March 21, 1983, he appeared on "Late Night with David Letterman," a favorite topic of this blog, to discuss his career and cut some promos.
