He was a mainstay of broadcast TV for half a century before retiring in 1999. He was on 20/20, the Today Show and the Tonight Show. He was also host of the game show "Concentration."
He had a strong role in bringing Barbara Walters to prominence on TV, both on the Today Show and 20/20.
Condolences to all his friends and family.
RIP, Hugh.
