Carter's VP Mondale. Turns 93 at the start of january.

How is his dog, anyone know?

Matt Dornic, Head of Strategic Communications at CNN tweeted that the organization never said that.

Tony Waiters, 257 appearances for Blackpool and five between the sticks for England, he was one of the last players dropped for the 66 squad. However, after his career was over he went over to Canada to manage and led them to their only World Cup appearance in 1986, thus qualifying him for this thread. Dead at 83.

Well yeah, but he'll be remembered for offing a few people who were nowhere near making that decision

Dead. Obituaries: Daily Mail, The Guardian, The Independent, BBC

Meanwhile, The Daily Star has him as a side panel whilst they've got an orgasmic angle on the new vaccine story

"Hello, Bernard Matthews? Yes, I'd like to report that one of your twizzlers is on the loose."

I’d also rule out James Earl Jones. Reasonably active for his age. Disney have supposedly been in talks with him lately to do more Vader voice work.

That's no way to talk about your husband.

He hosted $64,000 Question on ITV in the early 90s. Maybe that's what your thinking of. Or Wipeout? It was on the BBC in the early nineties but he didn't host it until the late nineties, when Big Break was still running. Or maybe your ageing memory is playing tricks on you

Amadou Toumani Touré, President of Mali 2002-2012 before being ousted in a coup, has died age 72. Obituaries: Daily Mail

How dare you. As if calling the next Vice President of the United States 'the Indian' is racist when you don't know her name! Surely you realise it's easier to just be racist than find out her name before you send your inane tweet? They never learn do they? Note, he apologised for offence caused but not for his original comment.

He's related to Cllr Mary Mears, once leader of Brighton & Hove City Council, so will get at least local coverage when he dies (even without being a crook character).

Juditha Brown, the ex-mother-in-law of OJ Simpson and mother of Nicole Brown Simpson, has died, according to the Juice. https://newsone.com/4047701/oj-simpson-juditha-brown-dies-video/

Also maybe Ozzy Osbourne should be included next year and stay untill dies, since he is the last survivor of the original 1987 Deathlist. And he also got diagnosed with parkinson's In February last year and publicly revealed it in January.

OK , I lied. I don't have some sort of a life Alex Trebek was a hit for 26 out of the 43 players. That seems to be a record, beating Leah Bracknells record of 22 set last year. First up, he was a hit for the leader Grim Up North. This brings Grim up to 17 hits, which breaks the record for most hits in this game, set by MSC in 2018. It also brings Grim up to 2888 points - another record, beating John Keys 2805 set last year. He was also a hit for the next 5 players on the scoreboard, keeping them all in contention as the game hots up. Remarkably, the 10 players in positions 7-16 on the last scoreboard all had Trebek as their wildcard, instantly bringing them all closer to the leaders, and causing a major bottleneck in the fight for the minor places. Only 275 points, or 1 hit, separates Etush in 2nd from Banana in 16th. Ans as Grim continues to streak ahead, it is worth noting that there are now 5 players within 2 hits of the leader, with more likely to join that list as the days tick by. Spare a thought also for CaptainChorizo. With Alex Trebeks demise, he equalled the old record of 16 hits in the game.... and dropped from 3rd place to 9th in the process .

I don't want any of them to hit - they all bring someone else onto hits in 4 categories. Roy Taylor has MND, Franco Battiato retired due to ill health. Either of those would be better. Its also a bit pointless having this discussion a few months after this game has started. No matter how many hits happen in the first few months, we will all still be looking for a spaceman to hit in about 2 years time.

Think again comrade. Even in death I will be the leader of Russia.

Bruno's version is that Savile introduced him to a "friend" when Bruno was opening the gym at Broadmoor, and he only found out when the photo circulated that it was the Ripper. Given Frank Bruno's not the sharpest knife in the drawer, and Savile was a cunt, I believe him.

now, I hope it'll be Sutcliffe but as we say, only the goods die young so he'll probably fight covid and live to his 100th birthday…

Here are the 2 people the i think will break the Deathlist record #17: Prince Philp (November 22, 2020) #18: Peter Sutcliffe (December 3, 2020)

Once a week, at most.

At this point in time, I’d say 18 hits does look likely for the 2020 DL.
