In the beginning, there was Dick …
Dick writes for the Mad Magazine, wrote for the Match Game, and started being the Giz Wiz about 20 years ago, when one of the producers of Match Game at Goodson-Todman Productions asked Dick to appear on TV showing some of his gadgets.  He’s appeared on the Screensavers and Call For Help as well.  He tries to avoid talking about gadgets which everyone else is doing.
 
Dick is also a model train enthusiast and has a whole rail-track at his backyard.  The backyard at the DeBartolo Manor in New York measures 20′ x 40′.
