…I watched Match Game. Now he’s gone. Dang it all to [BLANK].
Actor Nipsey Russell, known as “the poet laureate of television,” passed away yesterday afternoon at Lenox Hill Hospital.
Eyewitness News has learned Russell died of cancer, confirmed his longtime manager, Joseph Rapp. He was 80.
The man could definitely rhyme. Forget Charles Nelson Reilly. Nipsey was the Match Game master.
RIP.
