They "Go" in Three's...Who's Next?

Bob Newhart's buddy, Tom Poston died today at age 85:

LOS ANGELES - Tom Poston, the tall, pasty-faced comic who found fame and fortune playing a clueless everyman on such hit television shows as "Newhart" and "Mork and Mindy," has died. He was 85.

Poston, who was married to Suzanne Pleshette of "The Bob Newhart Show," died Monday night at home after a brief illness, a family representative, Tanner Gibson, said Tuesday. The nature of his illness was not disclosed.

Poston was one of the "men on the street" on the original Steve Allen way back in the olden days...for me that would be back in the late '50's or very early '60's. Don Knotts and Louis Nye were the other "men on the street" who also got their start with Steve Allen.

Luminaries always seem to go in three's...wonder who's next...
