He did about 10-12 aired shows in early 1986. Solely on his voice, yes, I thought Bob Hilton was the best of the crop that included Gene, Rod, and Rich Jeffries. But as an on-air character, they ended up doing quite well with Rod.

I still believe Divorce Court was the biggest waste of Jim Peck's talent!

Story is that Jack was ready to retire from Joker on-air and permanently hand the reigns to Jim at the start of the 84-85 season, but his sudden death put the brakes on that.

I think his blink and you'll miss it appearance in the Battlestar Galactica pilot would top even that!

Seconded on Gene Wood/TPIR.
I'm not sure if we're really going to count fill-ins/guests around here, but I had recently listened to some intros from when Rod Roddy filled in on Dawson "Feud", and while his voice sounded like it could work, his pacing just wasn't right. I seem to recall Johnny Gilbert not faring much better in his fill-in stint, either.
