Don Pardo, the longtime announcer who has contributed Saturday Night Live's opening credit wails even after claiming he'd quit in 2009, turns 92 today. Darrell Hammond can't even understand that level of commitment. Since his career began in (ahem) 1938, Pardo has announced for the original versions of The Price is Right (with Bill Cullen), the original Jeopardy! (with Art Fleming), the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, and all but one season of SNL. For a glimpse into Pardo's own comic chops, do enjoy his wicked contribution to the Weird Al Yankovic hit "I Lost on Jeopardy." Happy birthday, sir.
