He could always bring a smile to my face by just appearing. Even in shows ( that were not that good) where he would guest star or have a recurring role, he did everything in his unique way to bring some laughter. I remember him from Steve Allen and To Tell the Truth", plus numerous others. I, too, will miss Tom Poston. He could always bring a smile to my face by just appearing.

As for your query, I checked with GSN and ... set your DVR for 3:30 a.m. Here's the announcement: On Sunday, May 6th at 3:30a, we will air an episode of To Tell the Truth as a tribute to actor Tom Poston who passed away today at the age of 85. Poston, who is best known for his comedic roles in “Newhart,” “Mork & Mindy,” and “The Steve Allen Show,” was also a game show veteran, appearing in countless shows from the 1950s forward, including over 550 episodes of To Tell the Truth. This airing will pre-empt the episode of Beat the Clock that had been previously scheduled. I saw them together at an event once, and they looked very sweet.

I'm hoping GSN may pick out a show or two to showcase him in their crucial Monday 3 AM timeslot. He definitely deserves more than that, but I'll take what I can get. My wife always thought that he and Suzanne Pleshette made a terrific couple . . .
