So long to the star of Fantasy Island, amongst other things. He was smooth as silk in The Naked Gun.

RIP Jon Hager of the Hager Twins

Wednesday, January 14th, 2009 by admin

The AP lists them as a comedy duo, but I recall they were more a musical team than comedy-based.

Back in the day the Hager Twins were a regular feature on Hee Haw, that hayseed-but-produced-in-Los-Angeles show that was required watching in Southern households.

I baaaaaaaarely remember a few members of my family (including myself) going to see them live at some local function.  I was very, very small.
