Record 12-time Las Vegas Entertainer of the Year, Danny Gans, dies suddenly at the age of 52.

Many of my family and friends who have seen him perform highly recommended to see his show in Vegas, but I never did.  Unfortunately, I'll never see him perform live.  Known as "The Man With Many Voices", Gans was a singer-actor-impressionist and was famous for doing celebrity impressions with emphasis on musical impressions.  RIP Danny Gans.

Damn, that's too bad.  My wife and I go to Vegas every year and we keep saying that we wanted to see him perform.  RIP.

Damn, that's shocking. I've been to Vegas a few times, and never got to see his show. RIP.

Sad....I don't remember much of him outside of Smokey & the Bandit and some weird talk show he had in the 80's.  Wasn't his son on 21 Jump Street back in the day too?

His son's Peter & Michael were on that show.

Dom was also the voice for Pizza The Hutt.

Do you mean Cannonball Run?  I get the two confused too.
This sticker is dangerous and inconvenient, but I do love Fig Newtons.

He was in Smokey & the Bandit Part II as the Doctor and in both Cannonball Run Movies.

I always thought his movie roles were very funny and am sad to here he passed.  :'(

There was a Smoky II??

Who knew?

I also liked him in all of his Scooby Doo appearances.

This cloud does have a silver lining...it will now be easier to tell DeLuise from Chef Paul Prudhomme.

There's also a 3, but Reynolds wasn't in it, only Jerry Reed.
