How tragic! The loss is being mourned across the nation. You will weep when you discover who he is.

The host of “The Hollywood Squares,” Peter Marshall, passed away. His age was 98 years.

Peter performed on Broadway and sang. He also worked for a long time on the NBC game show.

His publicist, Harlan Boll, claims that the 98-year-old’s family claimed that kidney failure was the cause of his death.

At his Encino, Los Angeles, home early on Thursday morning, the man who had hosted game shows departed from this life.

Ralph Pierre LaCock, the singer Peter Marshall, was born in West Virginia and rose to fame later on.

“Singing is what I’ve always wanted to do.” “I always remember how important music was in my life,” he stated on television.

However, the singer shot to fame when he hosted The Hollywood Squares from 1966 to 1981, a show for which he was honored with four Emmy Awards.

When Peter talked about his work, he stated that he had only worked once a week for sixteen years.

Peter’s 2010 interview with the Archive of American Television was not practiced. “It was the easiest job I’ve ever had,” he declared.

“Hello, stars,” I remarked as I entered. As I read the questions, I chuckled.

“And the pay was excellent.”

Until he became the well-known and adored host, Peter was Julie Harris’s leading man in the Broadway musical Skyscraper.

Peter didn’t believe he would be hosting a game show for a long time.

In 2013, he told the Huntington Herald-Dispatch that it “was just a freak chance.”

“I thought it would be for a few weeks, but that turned into sixteen years. I had been on Broadway with Julie Harris and was going back to Broadway when I did the audition.”

In 2002, Peter returned to the panel for a reimagining of The Hollywood Squares.

Peter Stewart is survived by his wife Laurie Stewart and their four children. Pete LaCock was a first baseman who played for both the Kansas City Royals and the Chicago Cubs.
