That's one long commercial break there Jebus.

Good night Newsy man.

jimmyjackfunk		2012-04-08 11:18:00 AM

dammit i submitted this with a similar headline but thought the whole tick tick tick thing would get laughed at.
of course tick tick tick tick...thump would have made a better one.

/now he gets to hear Andy Rooney with his "you know what really annoys me?" schtick

Chupacabra Sandwich		2012-04-08 11:18:05 AM

Without a doubt, the absolutely best looking 93 yr old of all time. You lived a good life, mate.

peachpicker		2012-04-08 11:18:21 AM

Oh, that's too bad. Damn, that man was fast. At least we've still got Antonio Brown...

theorellior		2012-04-08 11:18:36 AM

The original gotcha journalist. Well, Geraldo will carry on the torch, old-timer.

Moodybastard		2012-04-08 11:18:42 AM

Good night and stay classy

HaywoodJablonski		2012-04-08 11:18:51 AM

I hope they didn't lose Hines Ward's number

Jack Kerouac		2012-04-08 11:19:07 AM

I had no idea how old he was. RIP

BronyMedic		2012-04-08 11:19:30 AM

He's Dead, Jim! Dead!

StrikitRich		2012-04-08 11:19:36 AM

So, when should I expect an expose' on Heaven's entrance policy?

"St. Peter, Mike Wallace is out front to interview you."

Lone Stranger		2012-04-08 11:20:08 AM

RIP William Wallace

SilentStrider		2012-04-08 11:20:51 AM

Mike is dead, and his sons career is still alive. Truly there is no justice.

darkedgefan		2012-04-08 11:20:55 AM

How sad.
Oh, Mike Wallace, run!!
I like his son Chris a lot too. Hope he's ok, too.

Lobster_of_Hate		2012-04-08 11:20:56 AM

I hope they took that clock and shoved it up his ass.

Dwight_Yeast		2012-04-08 11:21:15 AM

Jeebus, he was 93?

skinink		2012-04-08 11:21:52 AM

For those of you expecting to see his wake it will follow immediately at the end of the baseball game. Those of you on the West Coast will see it at its regularly scheduled time.

calbert		2012-04-08 11:22:06 AM

really a dumb and expected headline.

simple minds prevail I guess, now everyone's going to chime in on how clever subby is, or how they're going to hell for laughing at the headline.

and neither of those apply to this.

it's not funny, or even cringe-worthy.

TheXerox		2012-04-08 11:22:10 AM

So long, yellowish, orange tanned news guy.

Forgot_my_password_again		2012-04-08 11:22:52 AM

RIP George Wallace

MBA Whore		2012-04-08 11:22:53 AM

Andy Rooney, Mike Wallace - I grew up listening to these guys. Is anyone else actually really sad to hear this news? Maybe this is just a sign that I am getting old.

/ we need more reporters like him
// instead we get Katie Couric, who is so shiatty her name is used to measure shiat

Snarcoleptic_Hoosier		2012-04-08 11:23:07 AM

Good night, Dunky Man.

/Seriously though, Mike Wallace was a damn good reporter (albeit a little Jesus-y at times)

jimmyjackfunk		2012-04-08 11:23:21 AM

I'm Mike Wallace
I'm Morley Schaifer
I'm Ed Bradley
I'm Diane Sawyer and one of these guys is hung like a mouse.

DarKrow		2012-04-08 11:23:25 AM

Say, Gang, have you ever stopped to think of this?
You might be a dunk. Do you know what a dunk is?

rcantley		2012-04-08 11:24:01 AM

Remember when journalists weren't just a bunch of mealy-mouthed wusses obsessed with appearing centrist and fair, to the detriment of the truth?

Yeah, neither do I. I'm only 30.

Lost Thought 00		2012-04-08 11:24:01 AM

RIP, Jesus man

lohphat		2012-04-08 11:24:09 AM

The honorable profession of journalism started to die with the retirement of Walter Cronkite in 1981. Slowly each of the disciplined greats passes to the ages.

The role of the press of speaking truth to power to guard the republic from demagoguery has been abdicated in favor of the lust for profit and private funded agendas.

Unless this trend reverses itself, the republic is doomed.

nekom		2012-04-08 11:24:40 AM

Well, 93 isn't a bad run, I suppose. RIP old news man.

coco ebert		2012-04-08 11:24:47 AM

RIP, news guy.

To this day that "tick-tick-tick" sound always gives me a bad feeling because as a kid my parents would watch it every Sunday but for me it was a reminder that the weekend was over and I had to go back to school the next day. Regardless, 60 Minutes has been and is a great newsmagazine.

Fark U		2012-04-08 11:25:04 AM

This is a tragedy, folks.

bluorangefyre		2012-04-08 11:25:30 AM

It was not too many years ago that he got in trouble for beating up a photographer. The story on E! started off as, "Who knew that Mike Wallace was a ticking time bomb?"

Big Man On Campus		2012-04-08 11:25:39 AM

RIP Mike

I think I finally laughed at a post on Fark on a famous-person-died thread. Much better than the RIP posts. That was +1 internets.

Hopefully they will show his wake in its entirety

He looks maybe 70, I hope I look that good when I'm 90

And that's the way it is.

Good night, and good luck.

I'll see you along the way.

And that's part of our world tonight.

Good night and a good tomorrow.

Glad we could get together.

Until tomorrow, may it all be good news to you.

That's the news and I am outta here!

shivashakti		2012-04-08 11:27:01 AM

Fark U: This is a tragedy, folks.

The man was 93. It's sad because he was a very talented reporter and did some great work over decades. 9/11 was a tragedy. A 93 year old man dying is sad.

ZeroCorpse		2012-04-08 11:27:14 AM

Too bad his son is a dickback that works for Fox News.

whyerhead		2012-04-08 11:27:15 AM
