The 85 year old star of Hee Haw died at his Tulsa home from pneumonia.

There were always rumors he was gay, but I've never heard anything specific.

He was married to the same woman for over 50 years and they had 4 kids.

Who retires to Tulsa?

Not my taste in music, but he was a very talented man.

I didn't think he was dead, really, but I would have guessed he was in his 60s back in the late 70s/early 80s.

I remember he hosted The Muppet Show during that time. I just checked - there were 120 episodes produced between 1976-1981, and just under half of the hosts are now dead.

You were probably thinking of Conway Twitty.

"Yesterday When I Was Young" sung by Roy Clark.

Original song was "Hier Encore" by Charles Azanavour.

I like Roy's version better!

Thanks, R18.

I’m another who thought he was already dead. I was also shocked to learn that June Lockhart is still alive. I could’ve sworn I read her obituary in the early ‘90s.

Jack Palance is the one who really freaks me out. Wikipedia says he died in 2006, but I would swear to reading that he died in 1995 and on another occasion a few years later. Could this be proof of parallel universes?

As a kid I had a crush on Buck Owens from "Hee Haw." I was floored to read on Datalounge that he was bisexual.

Ain't that just like the younger generation. Bragging about their walk-on roles like they should have won Oscars or something.

Ironic that he and Aznavour died so close together. Both had the same song as their biggest hit.

R18 - one of my favorite Odd Couple episodes. Can’t imagine a modern sitcom believing their audience would have the patience to sit through that. They’d cut the scene to 15 seconds.

R32, The Odd Couple had lots of cool guest stars: Jaye P Morgan, Edward Villella, David Steinberg, and, of course, Roy Clark.
