A family member put on a game show that included Brian Blessed and I commented it ‘must be old as he’s been dead for a while’?

Nope. 88 and going strong.

Who else has surprised you?

    In a conversation the other day the film Contempt came up, and we looked up the movie and were surprised Brigitte Bardot is still around at 90.

    Whenever we would hear “Crimson and Clover” growing up, my dad would comment how Tommy James (the singer) killed himself in the 70s. Cut to like 5 years ago when I see Tommy James, in his 70s, still kickin’, on some random public access programming lol.

    My dad has been repeating this “fact” for so many years that there’s a solid chance he’s forgotten it isn’t true and still says it whenever he hears “Crimson and Clover.”

    Morgan Freeman.

    Though in hindsight I realized he probably would’ve given his own eulogy.

        I swear to God he’s the first person that came to mind, and here it’s currently the first post - thank you for reminding me that he’s still alive!

    I thought Mr dress up was dead for years before he actually died . Pretty sure that was just a Canadian show so most people probably have no idea what I’m talking about . But he was like Mr Rogers and made lots of cool things with construction paper and glue .

      He came to my small town and did a show there. Huge highlight of my childhood. My sister got an autograph for me, but I lost it somewhere. Such a great show.

      Probably got a heart attack after hearing the news that the felon won.

      Is he still alive? If so, he’s probably so sad after seeing what this country did.

        If I were his hospice worker, I’d tell him Kamala won.

            I im imagining he goes to make a pact with the Devil:

            Jimmy: “Let me outlive Donald Trump, and I’ll pledge you my soul.”

            Satan: “Don’t worry about it bro this one’s on the house.”

    I’m not sure why I thought this, but I thought Carole King died in the late 80s. Nope, she’s still kickin’.

    Bob Barker only died a year ago. I thought for a long time he had gone in, like, 2010 or so.

    Brian Blessed (88) is still alive, so is John Rhys-Davies (80). But we did lose large, loud, Scotish actor Robbie Coltrane (72). :(
