Marty Ingels died from a massive stroke at Tarzana Medical Center in Tarzana, California at the age of 79. He was survived by his wife, singer and actressShirley Jones.

Ingels was born Martin Ingerman in the Brooklyn borough of New York City. Ingels' acting career dates back to the early 1960s. In 1960, he appeared twice as himself in NBC's short-lived crime drama, Dan Raven, starring Skip Homeier and set on the Sunset Strip of West Hollywood, California. He had his own short-lived ABC television series, I'm Dickens, He's Fenster (1962–1963) with John Astin, which lasted one season of thirty-two episodes.

He guest starred on the CBS sitcoms: Pete and Gladys, The Ann Sothern Show, Hennesey, and The New Girl. He also appeared in one episode of ABC's Bewitched as "Diaper Dan", who plants a microphone in Tabatha's rattle so a competing advertising agency can scoop Darrin's ideas.

In 1978, Mr. Ingels guest starred in Season Two, Episode One of The Love Boat.

His voice-overs and commercials include those for Paul Masson wines, with his uniquely raspy voice. He played AutoCat in the Autocat and Motormouse cartoons featured first on The Cattanooga Cats and then in a series of their own, and was Beegle Beagle in The Great Grape Ape Show. He appeared in Pac-Man (1982) as the title character. As recently as 2010, Ingels was cast in an episode of CBS's CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.

He also acted in films, including Armored Command (1961), The Horizontal Lieutenant (1962), Wild and Wonderful (1964), The Busy Body (1967), A Guide for the Married Man(1967), For Singles Only (1968), The Picasso Summer (1969), If It's Tuesday, This Must Be Belgium (1969), Linda Lovelace for President (1975), and Instant Karma (1990).

We’ll continue our look at milestone television premieres with a look at the history of Saturday Night Live, which originally premiered on NBC this month in 1975.

This week’s show will include an encore presentation of our February 2014 conversation with Emmy Award winner Alan Zweibel. Alan was not only one of the original writers of Saturday Night Live, where he wrote for Gilda Radner, John Belushi, Dan Akyroyd and the rest of the Not Ready for Prime Time Players, but he has written for such comedy legends as Steve Martin, Billy Crystal, Garry Shandling, Jon Lovitz, Larry David and Martin Short. Alan is also an accomplished author and novelist; his books include Bunny Bunny, the story of his 14-year friendship with Gilda Radner, which began in July 1975 on the first day of production meetings for Saturday Night Live. We will talk about Gilda Radner, plus we’ll ask Alan about his work on It’s Garry Shandling’s Show, Curb Your Enthusiasm and other aspects of writing during our first hour. 

Our second hour will include a replay of our October 2014 conversation with Doug Hill and Jeff Weingrad, co-authors of Saturday Night: A Backstage History of Saturday Night Live, a behind the scenes look at the first ten years of the groundbreaking NBC late night series. Recently re-released as an eBook, Saturday Night: A Backstage History of Saturday Night Live was hailed by the Associated Press as “the best book ever written about television.”
