The World Loses Another Legend – Andy Rooney Dies at 92

Mr. Andy Rooney, the king of rant monologues on whatever first came to his mind, died Friday night of complications following surgery. He was 92.

Born in Albany, NY, in 1919, Rooney worked for CBS for over 60 years, having previously served in the U.S. Army before getting into writing and producing in non-fiction TV. It was in1964 that Rooney first began the popular televised essays he is credited with developing as a genre, beginning with a commentary titled “An Essay on Doors”–an opinion piece that presumably finally made viewers question why doors were needed when walls, windows, and gaping holes had been working just fine for years.
