On Thursday January 26th, Robert Hegyes, of Welcome Back Kotter Fame passed away at the age of 60 after a heart attack.
I never really watched Welcome Back Kotter so I can't have a say on how he did, but I'm pretty sure he did good. He played Juan Epstein.
However, I knew him best on game shows. I saw a couple of his Match Game 76 episodes, and the last episode of Match Game PM GSN aired was his appearance. Unfortunately at the moment those episodes are not on YouTube, and I don't see GSN airing a tribute. However last month, an episode of him on The $25,000 Pyramid was uploaded. He also did the 70's versions as well.
R.I.P. Robert, we'll miss you.
