This name probably doesn't mean much outside of california, but I will truly miss this guy (his persona made the simpsons twice ) I found out about a lot of neat somewhat obscure things in california I actually met him several times and turned him onto a few things as well.

DAMMIT! This makes me angry and sad. Every time i saw him on my local PBS station he always brought a smile to my face and uplifted my spirits. I had a saying a while back If we could get Bob Ross for President and Huell Howser for Vice President this country, this world would be a much better place.
The good die young So bummed right now I went to a cash only burger stand in the San Fernando valley just because we saw Huell do a show about it, this guy brought a lot of light and fun into the world, he will be greatly missed. Thanks for posting this news spookymulder.

He was a true gentlemen, I ran into him once at the main los angeles library and about a year later at pink's hot dogs and I told him about a mysterious building in culver city that was worth a visit (imo) and he actually took me up on it and a couple of years later when I ran into him again ( Phillipes' ) be remembered it and thanked me for pointing it out to him.

... Huell Howser, another fine example of
California's Gold...

I first heard about Huell Howser when Adam Carolla and Dana Gould made fun of him occasionally. I'd forgotten how warm and kind Huell is.
Good day Huell fans.

I really wish I could get off work to check this out on Feb. 8 - especially since some of the people featured on his show will be there. I met him in Palm Springs once and he was very cool - especially since my date took it upon herself to interrupt his dinner for an autograph!
