Since I was watching a documentry called "Big Bucks: The 'Press Your Luck' Scandal" on the old GSN last year, Michael Larsen died of throat cancer back in 1999, that was 5 years ago.

That was sad (RIP). He was once interviewed on "Good Morning America" back in 1994 talking about playing "Jeopardy!".
