Robin Leach Dies: ‘Lifestyles Of The Rich And Famous’ Host Was 76

[mvcg66b3r]

Robin Leach, the entertainment journalist and host whose syndicated TV series Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous hit smack-dab in the zeitgeist of the “greed is good” era during its heyday in the 1980s and early 90s, has died. He was 76.

He most recently had been working as a columnist at the Las Vegas Review-Journal. The newspaper relayed the news this morning that Leach passed away overnight in Las Vegas. He had been hospitalized since November 21 after suffering a stroke. He had a second stroke Monday and had been in hospice care.

Easily one of the most irritating and obnoxious people on TV.......ever.

Interesting...I used to run into him at events in Vegas, but hadn't seen him in over a year. It could be startling to walk into Caesar's Palace and see him with his laptop. Best known for his TV show, but I thought his newspaper work was very good. He was a real champion for Las Vegas and the entertainment there.

And he was the same age as Aretha Franklin when she passed last week. May he forever RIP. I hope Robin's having fun, exploring the lifestyles of the rich and famous up in the sky. :-(

I guess he has his own mansion now. I watched him on "E.T."
