If there was an Agree button I would have pressed that - sadly he won't be with us Christmas 2021 - clever funny man.

This thread was started in 2015 and he's still kicking it. For how much longer? Idk... But I doubt it was cancer. Either he's kicking/kicked cancer's ass, it's an extremely slow burn, or he doesn't have cancer and his appearance is just a symptom of being old as dirt. Personally I think it's the last one but who knows? 

 

Let's put it this way: I wouldn't be surprised if he were to die suddenly. But at the same time tbh I also wouldn't be surprised to see him make it through another few years. It certainly wouldn't be as shocking as someone like Norm Macdonald.

 

It'll be sad but at least he'd be reunited with Don.

So sad! He's survived Ginnie, Don Rickles, and his wife, Barbara. The four were extremely good friends even traveling the world together.

 

Ginnie was also the daughter of American character actor, Bill Quinn.

The real question is : will he attend his wife funeral ? If not then I think he’s fucked

Just wanted to point out that the past 3 years have all seen cast members of the 2003 holiday hit Elf dying, in 2021 Ed Asner, in 2022 James Caan and in 2023 Michael Lerner died.

 

Superstition makes me think that Newhart will make it a 4 year streak (either that or Will Ferrell is going to have a very bad year).

That only takes you that far.

 

Three Golden Girls died three years in a row and then Betty White decided to make it to 99.

Also in the Elf cast is Artie Lange who's had major drug and alcohol problems for decades.  He's basically the NY Comedy  Club version of Shane MacGowan.

OldWillz had a slew of his vinyl when I was a boy, that's really how I knew him.

 

I rather liked his eponymous sitcom, was it set in a ski lodge or something?

 

Anyway, RIP to one of the greats.
