Come to think of it, Manson hasn't been looking too good lately either.

I'm surprised he's still alive. He looked like crap when I saw him live in 2012, and since then he's collapsed on stage (more than once?) and otherwise seemed the exact opposite of the picture of health.

[Draesk]

Pfft, after Trump antagonises someone into nuking us back to the protozoic era, Betty White will still be left standing.

[darkness]

Same with Jimmy Carter. I think he's done so much good that death just literally can't touch him now.

[darkness]

Guess I should have picked Rush Limbaugh this year. But I just assumed the pact with the devil most conservatives have would keep them immune.

[O-dot]

Kirk Douglas. At age 103.

[darkness]

I'm going to be a little sad next year when I don't get to put him on the list. I just kind of always assumed he and Olivia de Havilland would always be on there, living forever.

[_Marcus_]

Michael Douglas is gone within two years, guaranteed.

[darkness]

He'll be fine as long as he lays off the oral sex.

[darkness]

I'm putting down Barbara Walters just because it's 2020.

I noticed they trotted her out for the NYE broadcast, I imagine for that reason. I guess Hugh Downs was too old to make it. Though he'd be a good candidate for the list for the same reason. In fact I'm nominating him as an 11th wildcard edition to my list.

Sort of point to me.

[TC]

the dude was 99. quite amazing.

[darkness]

Olivia de Havilland and Kirk Douglas, my two yearly standbys, both in the same year.

[darkness]

RIP Alex Trebek

[TC]

ah dang, it got him? half the characters from celebrity jeopardy on SNL in one week is pretty crazy. RIP.

[darkness]

A sad number of people from SNL celebrity jeopardy are gone now. It's almost like being parodied on there is a curse.

[darkness]

I almost forgot about this. This year I got three: Alex Trebek, Kirk Douglas, and Olivia de Havilland, plus my wildcard Hugh Downs. The middle two long time fixtures on my yearly list. Kind of sorry to see them go finally.

My 2021 list:
Bob Newhart - He's 91.
Olivia Newton John - She's getting better, but not at all out of the woods yet.
Mel Brooks - I saw an interview with him recently and he looked half dead. I is 95 after all.
Jimmy Page - My nomine for '70s/'80s rock star who checks out this year. He kind of looks like the cryptkeeper now.
Eric Clapton - All that alcohol and drugs can't have been good for his organs, and he's the last man standing from Cream.
Nichelle Nichols - A stroke, dementia, and now her family is fighting over her guardianship, which is usually the final nail.
Bill Cosby - Failing health, losing a lot of weight - prison will kill him pretty soon.
Diane Rehm - Stopped doing her NPR show a few years back, and now even her weekly podcasts have been kind of spotty.
Donald Trump - If the cheeseburgers don't get him, his declining mental health will.
Rush Limbaugh - Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way to hell douchebag.
