Have we said "fuck cancer!" yet this week?
I was listening to the Sirius Radio or whatever they play at work and the guy came on and said something about a “Tribute channel” devoted to EVH and I was like...wait, what??

That fucking blows.

Interesting...Bob Dole is still alive. If we were doing a Celebrity Alive Pool, I would have got that one wrong.

I just saw his re-animated corpse in that video, so I bet you could ask the judges for a ruling and probably win the appeal.

Feels like Joe Morgan was still on TV - I haven't looked into it, was it a surprise? Wouldn't he have been like 68?

He was 77.
James Davis, a family spokesman, said the cause was nonspecified polyneuropathy. Morgan had a bone-marrow transplant in 2016.

A bit older than I thought. He wasn't my favourite broadcaster (I missed his playing days by a little bit, too early for me by a few years) but he did offer some good insight from time to time.

As does mine.

Sean Connery was probably the first actor I recognized as being an actor. Like, when you’re a little kid, people in movies are the characters and you know that first time you see someone in a different role and recognize them and it blows your mind? I’m pretty certain that was Connery for me. He’d always been James Bond to me, watching the Movie of the Week back when we only had 3 channels. And then my sister took me to Time Bandits in the theater. I was six or seven at the time. His distinct voice. As I said, mind blown. After that I realized, people could play different characters in different movies and I started seeing them everywhere.

We all knew this was coming for awhile, but it still sucks.

Alex Trebek, 80.

Someone pointed out the “rivalry” between Trebek and Sean Connery because of the SNL skits. “Shuck it, Trebek. I got to heaven firsht.” -Connery.

Almost easier to figure out who's NOT dead at this point. Mark, Harrison & that fucking Anthony Daniels. :(

Ian McDiarmid also seems to be using some of his character's arcane magic, because he has to be 140 by now.

People forget McDiarmid was in his 30s when he originally played the Emperor in RotJ.

30s? Damn! I knew he wasn't ancient, but figured at least late 40s.
