I always enjoyed his work on 20/20.

Not to mention all those years on the Today Show and hosting Concentration on NBC, one of the all time great game shows.

Click Click- Number 6. Click Click- Number 12. Not a match. That does bring back memories. Concentration, in its original format, had a 15 year run on NBC's daytime schedule from 1958-73. Downs hosted the show from 1958-69.

Re: Hugh Downs Dies At Age 99

I remember when we first got cable TV, Hugh and Barbara Walters were hosts of the Today Show.  That was about 1966.  Most of the time the picture was unwatchable.  The NBC affiliate we got was WPTZ from Plattsburgh, NY.
