For those of you, like me, who missed most or all of Howser’s career before he passed away yesterday at age 67, here is a brief description: He was a fixture of West Coast public television for decades, hosting shows with titles like Visiting, Road Trip and, most famously, California’s Gold, where he would drop in on a California landmark (some more famous than others) and describe it in his distinctive voice with the wide-eyed curiosity and excitement of a toddler at his first amusement park, jamming a microphone into people’s faces in the process to pepper them with questions.
Huell will be missed! He had a knack of making California Exciting. You could not watch one of his shows without a smile on your face.
God Bless and Goodbye Huell!
He’ll be missed in our household too.
