Not sure what to say?

What a lovely man, he seamed really wam and kind.

Daily attracted the attention of I Dream of Jeannie, creator Sidney Sheldon and landed the role of the goofy Roger Healey, the best friend of another NASA astronaut Anthony Nelson (Larry Hagman), on the fantasy comedy that starred Barbara Eden as a rather attractive genie. Also, he spent five seasons (and 131 episodes) on NBC's I Dream of Jeannie, which aired from 16965- 70, then worked for six seasons (and 140 episodes) on CBS" The Bob Newhart Show, which ran from 1972-78.

I enjoy you when you started in I dream of jeanie. Thanks for giving us something nice to watch when we were growing up.

Watching I Dream of Jeannie right now and wanted to share that this was one of my favorite shows growing up. Always brought me joy in my difficult home life. I can't imagine anyone else portraying Roger. Thank you Bill for the little bit of magic you brought to my tv screens and so many others!

Bill Daily, just thinking about you.

I remember waiting on him at Tomasitas in Santa fe and also when I worked at The Cheesecake Factory in Marina del Rey. I always thought being his waitress in two different States was really amazing. He was so friendly and so easy to chat with. He even flirted with me both times which was sweet. I bet he's in heaven telling the funniest jokes.

Heaven bound
