Dead at 49

I just saw that Alan Thicke died this year. How'd I miss that?

 

[nomar]

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.

Alan Thicke was Baba Booey?!?!

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.

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.

 

[Mr. French]

Dudes, wtf...

Baba Booey didn't die, JOEY BOOTS died...that's a MAJOR difference.

That's not super unexpected.

No...it isn't Gary the producer...it's someone named Joey Boots. I guess he was known for shouting baba boey.

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.

I was definitely a fan when i was younger, specifically the artie era.

Joey 'Baba Booey' Boots from 'Howard Stern Show' dies at 49

 

[B1GEast]

Sorry, saw the name Baba Booey, and thought it was him, my bad

The 49 years old gives it away. Baba Booey is 55.

 

[Mr. French]

Ya I didn't make the age connection, but I knew Gary was roughly that age...

Joey is famous for yelling Baba booey, but he didn't invent the phrase.

2016 claims another giant in the entertainment industry.

He didn't invent it. He just yelled it on live tv a lot. Gary mispronounced the cartoon character babbalooey (sp?) and it stuck

High Pitch must be crushed, he may not make it without Boots.
