Legendary Saturday Night Live announcer Don Pardo has died at the age of 96.

The respected radio and television star passed away peacefully in his sleep at his home in Tucson, Arizona, on Monday evening.

He had been the voice of the iconic NBC show since it began away back in 1975, and was the fourth person to speak on the programme following the first cold open sketch featuring Michael O'Donoghue, John Belushi, and Chevy Chase.
