Can't be many folk still around from them, I thought, as the big names were folk like John Wayne and Sinatra and co. Well, most of the people have died, true, but there's still 99 "roasters" still with us today. Some better known than others, but here's an updated list of those from them still around... Dena Dietrich (b. 1928) A fair few theme teams in there.

Certainly a blip on American radar. However - she was an comedic actress, NOT a comedian or comedy writer. This entire thread on her is misplaced. But there’s an obit for ya.

Turns out the Andy Gray on the DDP is now the footballer/pundit. Was this a change?

Well, the person who had him was a Machotrouts theme team, and when he noted it on forum it does say actor by his name. So I imagine it’s a possible overlook by the committee... 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I simply never stuck with him, he seemed to have recovered from his Christmas 2018 scare. So well done in advance to @machotrouts 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
