70 Years Ago Today…Dominick George Pardo Joined NBC Radio

David Schwartz, one of television’s top historians, has put together an exceptional – one of a kind timeline of Dan Pardo’s career at NBC. He was kind enough to share it with us. With thanks to David, here is one of the most impressive collection of memories ever made by an announcer…96 year old Don Pardo. As you read it, I’ll bet you’ll hear his voice in your ear! Enjoy and share! -Bobby Ellerbee

“On June 15,1944 Don joined NBC as a staff announcer. His first assignment was the network cues during the “Hour of Charm.” He was also heard frequently delivering the NBC newscasts during the 1940’s.”

“In the 70 years of his association with NBC, Don’s voice has been heard on hundreds of episodes of shows. This is a listing I have been able to compile.” -David Schwartz
