[HoJofan206]

You are correct beachgal26, and sadly you are correct about him ending his own life in 1996.

Here is the next item up for bid:

This gameshow host was on this particular "fun" morning game show from 1984 to 1986.  Can you name the host, the show and the specific thing the show was known for?

[Ameskid]

I don't know who the host is, but I'm going to guess the show.
Either Trivia Trap, The All-New Let's Make A Deal, or Body Language.
