The West Virginia native who hosted NBC’s “Hollywood Squares” has died.
Peter Marshall died in Los Angeles Thursday of kidney failure at age 98, according to the Associated Press.
Marshall was born in Clarksburg and grew up in Huntington.
The game show ran 5,000 episodes from 1966 to 1981 and won four Daytime Emmy Awards.
He was also a Broadway and film actor, starring in stage shows such as “Bye Bye Birdie,” “The Music Man” and “Anything Goes.”
Marshall became a member of the West Virginia Music Hall of Fame in 2013.
But he became a household name on “Hollywood Squares,” where he played the straight man to comedians like Paul Lynde, Jonathan Winters and Joan Rivers.
