DevonDeathTrip 2,358 Posted April 13, 2022 I too have no idea who any of these people are. I do know, however, that podcast hosts can achieve a special connection with their listeners, which does make their loss harder to bear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,515 Posted April 13, 2022 On the podcast tip, I had considered a Norm MacDonald Live theme team for this year's DDP but never got round to it. Looking at it now, the death rate for guests is spectacular: Season 1 (2013) Bob Einstein (died 2019) Tom Green Fred Stoller Russell Brand Billy Bob Thornton Larry King (died 2021) Kevin Nealon Simon Hedberg Nick Swardson Andy Dick Gilbert Gottfried (died 2022) Season 2 (2014) Ray Romano Adam Sandler David Spade Carl Reiner (died 2020) Fred Willard (died 2020) Todd Glass Bob Saget (died 2022) David Koechner Roseanne Barr Marc Maron Martin Mull Jack Carter (died 2015) I notice Martin Mull hasn't been in any TV shows or movies for nearly two years now... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cause for every situation there's a Carlin rant that's spot on! It's uncanny. Check out this example.... The original... Patrick Carlin, a comedy writer and performer who was a major influence on his younger brother George Carlin, died Saturday at Kaiser Permanente hospital in Hollywood. He was 90. Carlin’s death was confirmed by Kelly Carlin, his niece and daughter of George Carlin. George Carlin died at age 71 in June 2008 SC 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rising Damp wasn't consummate writing but by gawd with that cast it was AWESOME. If he doesn't broadsheet, I'll be astonished, redtops should cover him.

She’s an epic bullshitter/attention seeker so I would take anything she says with a pinch of salt. If it was terminal though, we’d know because she’d be screaming about it and the Daily Record (or the “Daily Janey” as it should be known given their obsessive coverage of her) would do a 6 page spread on it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vinegar Tits 606 Posted May 23, 2022 I find her as funny as cold dirty dishwater but I wish her no ill. It's the "now" in the comment that makes me wonder if she's had some very recent bad news. Of course, she may have just posted it in a moment of self-pity, which is fair enough and understandable. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, but - forgive me if I’m mistaken - he didn’t go on to social media crying about his cancer at every turn in order to win the sympathy vote. Possibly because he had an acceptance that he is, was, and shall be ever more a cunt. Godley isn’t funny. She latches on to the brain dead nationalists who will laugh at anything if it’s derogatory against any form of unionism. Great she’s recovered in time to take part in Sturgeon’s pretenda-rendum though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
