Jerry Golod, a television executive and producer known for working on “Tales from the Darkside,” dies at age 87. Multiple outlets report he dies Wednesday at his home in Rancho Mirage, California, following a brief illness.
According to reports, Golod had been battling cancer, though details of the timeline are described generally as a “brief battle.” His daughter, Dori Golod Howell, is cited as announcing the death. Born December 26, 1938, in the Bronx, Golod later held executive roles at CBS and NBC before founding JayGee Productions in the early 1980s.
The accounts also align on his additional television credits. Sources mention his work connected to series including “Adderly” and “Return to Green Acres,” and they note he is involved in a new version of “Land of the Lost.” While each outlet emphasizes different aspects—career background versus specific projects—the overall picture is consistent: Golod is recognized for leadership roles in major networks and for producing genre and family television work.
