First to reply this message!

I loved this appearance. It was funny when Big Bird and Gordon was doing Wendy Williams's "How 'ya doin?" impression.

I saw the heads up this morning. But I had to miss it. I had somewhere to go for today. I did question, who is "Roscoe Orman"? Now I see (Gordon) and went oh. He was the Gordon I grew up with. :smile:

As a kid he was the first adult I saw that was bald. I remember thinking how was that (use to only seeing that with babies). Not meaning to disrespeat. I just didn't see that very much as a kid.

There were three different Gordons: Matt Robinson, Hal Miller, and Roscoe Orman, as well as some other one for the test pilot; not sure what his name was:confused:

I've seen Matt Robinson before and I know he was the father of Holly Robinson Peete. Seen him while watching the Old School dvd's. Never heard of Hal Miller though.

Hal Miller played him for about a season or 2 in 1972 or 73, then Roscoe took over in about '74
