Members DRW50 Posted October 13, 2012 Members Share Posted October 13, 2012 Great selection of clips on WLS. Impressive work from them. I'm sorry to hear this. Who was he on Y&R? I always remember him for the mattress ads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted October 13, 2012 Members Share Posted October 13, 2012 Aww, how sad. I remember watching his show in the afternoon before Oprah took his timeslot. I had no idea that he and Mary Ann had been married for so long. For some reason I thought they'd married later in life like Maggie and Mr. Drummond. Sophia on The Golden Girls had a crush on him. She said Mary Ann was the luckiest woman in the world to get to go to bed with him every night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted October 13, 2012 Members Share Posted October 13, 2012 Poor Gary Collins. I know he had struggled with alcoholism for years. May God be with his loved ones at this time and always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members alphanguy74 Posted October 14, 2012 Members Share Posted October 14, 2012 I remember back in the early 90's, when on the HOME show, there was a huge deal that occured when a guest doctor accidentally injected Sarah Purcell with a syringe that he used on Collins just moments before. Collins did have an HIV and Hepatitis test, although they both knew the risk was pretty nil in their situation. The doctor simply got nervous on live TV and screwed up, he was EXTREMELY upset and left the studio in tears at the commercial break. Dr, Art Ulene who was in the studio that day took over the next segement, explained what happened and what the risks were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted October 14, 2012 Members Share Posted October 14, 2012 Whoa, that's nuts, I wonder if it's on YouTube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alphanguy74 Posted October 14, 2012 Members Share Posted October 14, 2012 I looked, but unfortunately, no. It was big headlines at the time. Here's an old article about it: http://articles.latimes.com/1993-09-25/local/me-38994_1_show-host Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted October 14, 2012 Members Share Posted October 14, 2012 Thanks, that's the article I read right after I Google'd! That Dr. was mortified, poor guy. I'm always nervous when I see people getting facial injections on TV shows, like, I would want a doctor injecting my FACE not talking to a host and breezing through the procedure like he was haphazardly rinsing a dish before sticking it in the dishwasher. I want your 100% focus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted October 14, 2012 Members Share Posted October 14, 2012 ^ I remember this! It's the one event that I always associate Gary Collins with. Imagine if it happened today like on the Today Show, with Matt Lauer? OMG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
