OBIT: Sir Bruce Forsyth
« on: August 18, 2017, 11:43:43 AM »
Bruce Forsyth, OBE passed away today at the age of 89 according to his family. Forsyth was known for hosting the British version of The Price is Right from 1995-2001. He also hosted Play Your Cards Right (the British Card Sharks) and You Bet! In non-game shows, he also hosted Strictly Come Dancing, the UK version of Dancing with the Stars.

May he rest in peace. This hurts the United Kingdom game show community a bit. Bruce was a great man.

I wonder if they'll pay a tribute to Bruce when the new UK Price is Right debuts
