Loved that man. Having grown up watching him interview greats, my first appearance was impossibly thrilling for me. The genius of Parky was that unlike most people (and most of his guests, me included) he was always 100% himself. On camera and off. “Authentic” is the word I suppose. For one of the shows I was on with Robin Williams, a genius of unimaginable comic speed and brilliance. Now they’re both gone, damn it #parky
Oh no. I haven't seen the news yet so this caught me by surprise.
He was a household name and a joy to watch.
My 12 year old son got an introduction recently when he came across a YouTube of Parky hosting an interview with Rod Hill and Emu. You can imagine how that turned out. My son loved it.
Aww Parky has died. Expect your feed to be flooded with clips of the poor man being assaulted by Rod Hull with a bunch of feathers strapped to his arm.
