Doesn't look like it; Wikipedia makes him 68, and doesn't mention him being a kerrrr-nigght.

What a fabulous series that was. My fave memory is the experiment where the audience threw sticks onto the stage and he counted the number that were touching one of the stick-length-apart parallel lines drawn thereon, and the number that weren't, and related them very simply to pi.

I think the ratio of touching to not was 1:pi.
