"In a world without Don LaFontaine, there are going to be a lot of strange sounding trailers and ads." RIP, Mr. LaFontaine.

So sad! I fondly recall his parody introductions to NPR shows from his appearance on the "Not My Job" segment of Wait Wait Don't Tell Me.

where everyone wanted to sound like him

Holy crap, pie, that "Not My Job" segment was brilliant. When he booms, "This is Terry Gross", it breaks me every time.

He would totally be on my dinner party wishlist.
