Rest in peace, Steve Irwin.
He was the type of guy that, even if you didn't watch The Crocodile Hunter, you always knew who he was -- either because he was parodied all the time, or you'd see a crazy interview with him on Conan (eg: that one where he taught Conan how to wrestle croc's in a kiddie pool), or you'd recognize him from that FedEx commercial where he gets bitten by the poisonous snake. He'll be missed, that's for sure.
Here is more info.
