From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mel Brandt (born June 18, 1919, Brooklyn, New York) was an actor and NBC staff announcer. Brandt's familiar voice was heard over the second animated version of the NBC Peacock from 1962 to 1975, announcing that the program was in "living color" on NBC.
Brandt later replaced Don Pardo as the announcer on Saturday Night Live during the 1981-82 season. Pardo would return to SNL the following season as announcer.
Brandt was one of the stars of the very first soap opera, Faraway Hill, broadcast in 1946 on the DuMont Television Network.
