Gable was one of the hosts for the reality TV series Cheaters, in which a hidden-camera filmed people suspected of adultery. At the end of the episodes, Gable confronted the people when they were caught in the act. The syndicated series launched in 2000, and Gable hosted from 2012 to 2015 before being replaced by Joey Greco.

Gable also aspired to follow in his famous grandfather’s footsteps and was working on the crime drama Sunset at Dawn at the time of his death. He also filmed the dramedy Heckle recently, reports Variety.

Gable’s father is John Clark Gable, who was born after Clark Gable’s death.

Clark Gable starred in countless Hollywood classics, including Gone With The Wind, It Happened One Night, the original Mutiny on the Bounty, San Francisco, The Misfits and Run Silent, Run Deep. He died in 1960, before the release of The Misfits, from an arterial blood clot after suffering a heart attack at 59.

Gable often used his Instagram page to share photos of his famous grandfather and kept fans up to date on his own career. He posted his final Instagram photo on Jan. 9, sharing a new selfie. Since his death, fans have left their condolences on the post.
