Now I'm sad. Someone please tell me Running Man is streaming on Netflix. I need to watch it again now.

I still can't believe he didn't die like 15 years ago. I could've sworn I heard that he did. I guess it was one of those fake death stories.

Richard Dawson loses it

Funny, funny man. I loved him in Hogan's and on Family Feud. I grew up watching him; it was great to see him step out of his "normal" character to play Killian on the Running Man. A true entertainer.

You will be missed. R.I.P.


I find your lack of signature disturbing.

He was awesome on the Match Game. But nothing was better than when he was hosting Family Feud. Those awkward moments where he was macking on wives, moms, daughters right in front of their family, and no one seemed to care. And then when contestants gave answers that were so goofy, off the wall, or just plain bad that Dawson would actually just lose it, and be laughing his *** off, tears running down his cheeks, bent over trying to gain his composure. That was just classic.
