DoorSlammer 542 Posted November 19, 2023 2020 is out of the question, but getting more hits than 2017 might be possible. 3 hits in less than 1.5 month is a lot, but when looking at some of the picks, I could see it happen. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lafaucheuse 4,013 Posted November 19, 2023 People seem to forget how much Woodward, Starmer Smith and Newhart are frail and ill. wouldn’t be too surprised if one of them die instead (or in addition to) Carter or Shane Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MacGowan, Jimmy Carter, Starmer-Smith are all very ill and we have plenty of 90+ picks who can still do it. It's a long shot, but there is still a possibility we see 5 deaths and 20 being equaled.

The Daredevil 1,187 Posted November 20, 2023 The 2023 DL is guaranteed to get at least 17 hits. J Carter and MacGowan are guarantees. Many of us also see Jacques Delors as an end of year bonus, and Joanne Woodward, Nigel Starmer-Smith, Ethel Kennedy, Dennis Skinner and Bob Newhart are all seemingly on their last legs, one or two of those are likely to go before 2024 as well. We may well also get a more surprising hit (we've been getting a quite a few surprises this year), like Yoko Ono or Norman Lear. 18-20 hits is thus a most logical result. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Honestly, not sure Carter will die before the end of 2023. An early 2024 hit perhaps but I wouldn’t count on 18-20. More like 15-16 for me, betting on McGowan and someone forgotten like Hal Linden or Newhart 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

History has shown that there's often a random old timer going at the end of the year. A Cardin, a Richard Adams, a Valery d'estaing and so on. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bibliogryphon 9,509 Posted November 20, 2023 Updated for Carter & Ackland This is the third most successful year ever. In 2013 there were four hits later than this and in 2020 there were three. I think this year could at least draw level with 2017 but I do not see it surpassing 2020 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arghton 6,639 Posted November 20, 2023 Imelda Marcos attended some event a week or two ago with seemingly swollen hands (there's pictures somewhere on facebook). Wouldn't be suprised if she'll die relatively suddenly considering her heart problems. She's also known to eat massive meals defying doctors orders. Pete Murray's one not mentioned yet. I think he looked very frail in December 2022 and it's been nearly a year. I'm not completely sure but I don't think he's been seen or heard of much since? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheKeysOfMarinus 390 Posted November 20, 2023 I guess if Pete doesn’t do a Boxing Day show for Boom Radio this year, that’ll be a clue. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,210 Posted November 20, 2023 If Rosalynn didn’t die I would definitely think Carter has a real chance of seeing the year out but now I kinda think it’ll be a miracle if he lasts another week… Tbh it’s actually Shane I could see sneak into 2024.

Evil Grimace 359 Posted November 21, 2023 20 hours ago, Bibliogryphon said: This is the third most successful year ever. This is the take home message. At 15 hits (and chance to improve) 2023 has secured a podium position. The DDP stands at 276 hits, only 5 away from a record. All this and there are 40 days remaining in the year. 2023 will be remembered as a banner year in deadpooling. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think Norman Lear has any reason not to make it out of the rest of the year alive. Is he incredibly old? Yes, but he doesn't seem to have any noticeable health issues. Mentally he still seems very sharp as well, at least whenever he does those specials with Jimmy Kimmel... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bibliogryphon 9,509 Posted December 4, 2023 Updated for Kissinger and MacGowan. The 18th hit in 2020 was on 3rd December and the Seventeenth that year was 16 day ahead of this year. The last two hits in 2020 were in the last week so statistically we could be looking at one more hit but there are plenty of candidates 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
