Or maybe not. Seems no news outlets have confirmed and this could be a false Twitter rumor, spurred by the fact he missed tonight's show.

It's on the wikipedia page, too (although that could just have been put up by a spoofer as well):  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Franklin

I used to see Joe Franklin on tv when I was a kid.  He had a program called "Memory Lane".  It was kind of interesting.
