"One time Ernie was supposed to gulp a big martini, but it was supposed to be filled with water, only it was really filled with vodka. He spit it out and started coughing like crazy on live national television.

Dad and his cronies were laughing their heads off." Mr. Wendell was born William Joseph Wenzel Jr. on March 22, 1924, in New York City to William J. Wenzel, a beverage distributor and an owner of several Manhattan fruit stands, and Mildred S. Wenzel, a housewife.

After serving in the Army Air Forces in World War II, he worked in radio and early television. He had taken the professional name of Wendell "because he wanted to give his family some privacy and maybe a German name at that time wasn't that popular," Mrs. Nunziata said. Mr. Wendell then went on to work as a staff radio and television announcer for NBC, on call for network promotions, special news bulletins and network identifications.
