There goes half of Pablo Francisco's act.

But in all seriousness... there's no replacement for this guy. Movie previews are going to reach new heights of crappiness without him.

Don't forget the wrestler Killer Kowalski's of the Killer clutch fame.

Sometimes it's Gregorian chanting or Firestarter.

In a world...
Where movie teasers have no voice overs.
Who can step up and fill the void...?
