    Comedians & Comedy Writers

    All I'm saying is that there are some similarities. - Part of '80s culture in the US (though Saget was late '80s) - Died in their 60s - Both unexpected deaths to many (Bowie kept his cancer battle hidden, Saget was performing yesterday) - Both died in early January

    This is definitely 2022's "David Bowie moment".

    Thoughts On The 2022 List

    I'd like to mention that this is the first list since 1998 not to include a centenarian, or someone who will be turning 100 later in the year, on the list. Kissinger and Barker are the oldest picks, at 99. Thanks, Betty.

    Jerry Lee Lewis

    Guess who's back- back again Jerry Lee's back- tell a friend (Guess who's back, guess who's back, guess who's back, guess who's back, guess who's back, guess who's back, guess who's back)

    The 1st Death of 2022

    So many options now... I better consult my thinking cap.

    The Dead of 2021

    Probably wouldn't affect the 2022 list, considering he isn't on it. 2021's total would then be 13- and Betty White's obit would need to be tweaked slightly (they said it was the final hit of the year).

    Thoughts On The 2022 List

    A lot more Brit-centric. Also Mrs Potato Head is #25. Glad to see Noam Chomsky debut and the return of Jerry Lee Lewis (after 29 years).
