Johnny Pierre Goodwill Hendrix Olson the 3rd, or better known as Johnny Olson or Sir John, was a master of announcing and a beast at calling down people's names on many game shows in the 1960s, 1970s, and early 1980s. He was born in 1910 in Announcer Springs, Minnesota. He, along with former announcer Gene Wood, both enjoyed speaking into microphones for various programs on CBS and getting paid a shit load for it. They seldom get on camera, and had a mere chance if they beg the host to do so. Johnny was long-time announcer for the Match Game and The Price Is Right.
