Poor chap, hope his family are doing well.

Did he really pronounce his name eye-gor instead of the standard ee-gor? Or was that just the news anchor providing a subtle shout-out to Young Frankenstein?

Accentuate the postive.

Congratulations Broc Brown! At 7 feet 8 inches, you’re now the tallest living American!

Because it would look small compared to how big you were ah never mind
