Don Pardo (born Dominick George Pardo on February 22, 1918, in Westfield, Massachusetts) is a legendary radio and television announcer. Since the 1940s, Pardo has been an in-house announcer for the NBC television network. He is the last of the "lifetime" staff announcers at NBC to still be working (following the retirement of Howard Reig and the death of Fred Facey). His best-known announcing work is for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on NBC (which he gave up after the 1999 telecast) and the television series Saturday Night Live; he has been with the show since it premiered in 1975, except for one season (1981-82).
