I figured he deserved some props. A hell of a lot more deserving of a thread than freakin' Baba Booey who was only famous because he was a Stern hanger-on.Alan Thicke was Baba Booey?!?!
is anyone actually surprised when a wack pack member passes? this isn't remotely comparable to thicke who died of a sudden heart attack after a long successful career, not being a bit on a washed up radio show.
I had to double check myself, he invented the term baba booey. gary the guy who lives in greenwich is who they actually call baba booey, has a book named after it. i initially thought thats what OP meant.Is this true that he's dead? That's crazy ...
I'm a huge Howard fan -- Baba booey is not a wack packer he's the producer of the show, Gary... And he's a totally normal (relatively) guy. I'm pretty shocked by this.
No...it isn't Gary the producer...it's someone named Joey Boots. I guess he was known for shouting baba boey.
He didn't invent it. He just yelled it on live tv a lot. Gary mispronounced the cartoon character babbalooey (sp?) and it stuckI had to double check myself, he invented the term baba booey. .
