Trivia
His middle name is George because he was born on George Washington's Birthday.
Announcer for NBC Radio's "The Magnificent Montague" (1950-1951).
Has been the announcer for "Saturday Night Live" (1975) for every season except the seventh. Thus, he is the person that's been involved with the show for the longest, even longer than executive producer Lorne Michaels who left the show from 1980-1985.
Joined NBC Radio as a staff announcer on June 15, 1944.
Retired in 2004 and moved to Tucson, Arizona but "Saturday Night Live" (1975) producers convinced to continue announcing for the show. For every new episode, Pardo is flown from his home to NYC. For a few episodes, they let him tape introductions from his home. But the producers preferred having him in the studio to warm-up the audience and insisted he come to each "SNL" to announce.
