Reg Grundy, the mastermind behind the US game shows $ale of the Century and Scrabble has died...he was 92. I remember watching $ale of the Century as a child and it plays Sunday nights at 8pm ET/PT on Buzzr. I liked Scrabble too, and not too long ago, the announcer of Scrabble died...Charlie Tuna.

A very well known name in Australian television, especially in the 1970s and 80s.

Apparently he was quite proud of that fact!
