I haven't seen Shalit since he wished Willard Scott a happy retirement several years ago!

That's quite an assumption, OP

We don't have interesting TV personalities anymore. He had a unique look and was distinguishable among the other bland journalists...like today. A character...

He was a character. I remember him from the old "Good Morning America" with David Hartley and Nancy Dussault. The show seemed really good back then.

Dear Lord, let me not live to be 95!

He used to give the most amazing mustache rides.

I met him coming out of an UES movie theater that was showing Xanadu one summer with my aunt . I was about 10 . We recognized him immediately . My aunt sidled up to him and said “so what did you think” he gave her a sort of bemused look that showed he thought it was a piece of shit. They don’t have any like him these days.

He gave "Philadelphia" a bad review.

The time he told Bette Midler to her face that "Jinxed" was terrible.

I would have bet my last dollar that he died in the 90s. I'd pay dollars to see a recent picture. He was creepy looking 40 years ago. Can't imagine now.

He gave a lousy review of "Brokeback Mountain" too.

Well, I've found the opposite.
