Gordon Jump is hopping out of the commercial limelight after fifteen years as the long-suffering Maytag Repairman. The Waterloo/Cedar Falls Courier reports.

Favorite Gordon Jump quotes from Adlist/WKRP:
"As God as my witness, I thought that turkeys could fly."
"Help me Andy, I've got a monkey on my foot!"

Wow. Why is he retiring? He has such an easy job. He just sat around bored most of the time. I think it was office politics that forced him to take an early retirement. That young turk that's always testing out the Maytag appliances must have done him in!

Well, he is in his late 70s, maybe he's taking time off to be with the grandkids or something.

*cries* - I'll miss him, party because the maytag man was such a cute gimmick, and partly because well, I just lurve that guy.. (the actor I mean)..
