Article description: (description ) This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | British stand-up comedian, prolific Game Show host and comedy writer. A Long Runner, he rose to prominence in The Fifties and was still going strong more than four decades later (joking that his 70th birthday celebration programme was actually a hastily re-titled funeral celebration). This became a Funny Aneurysm Moment as he died only a few years later from prostate cancer in 2003, at the respectable age of 75 but only shortly after his older friend Bob Hope, whom he had spent years writing for. After his death, CGI technology was used to allow his image to star in PSAs raising awareness of prostate cancer - these were praised for being one of the first examples of such a 'resurrection' that did not slip into the Uncanny Valley. |
