He passed away in 2008.
Speaking of Soap I did not know Katherine Helmond and Robert Mandan were still alive.

Benson was a regular poster on CBS.

I really liked Soup. One summer when I was a kid a local channel showed 2 episodes a night for all summer long.


Sports Night was really good too. Never watched Benson.
