Brad Garrett and Big Bird on Hollywood Squares's 500th episode.
Brad Garrett (b. 1960) is most well known for his role in the comedy series Everybody Loves Raymond, but he has done extensive voice work in films such as Pixar's A Bug's Life, Finding Nemo, Ratatouille, and DisneyToon Studios' Planes amongst others.
