Yeah, but the mirror has reported one false death before, so I was waiting for another source to confirm it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In a Large Font and not even bothering to post a link. And I eagerly await JTrost complaining about why there had to be another DL hit (except not really). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,232 Posted August 20, 2017 I thought it was brave pick from the committee, since Lewis had this feisty interview at the end of 2016. But after his hospitalization, the writing was on the wall. RIP... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,119 Posted August 20, 2017 Here's the expected BBC obit. They are now tied with 2015 at this point. The difference between 2015 and 2017 is that there's still lots of low hanging fruit remaining, while 2015 really only had Martin Crowe, who made it to 2016. So I think they will break the record this year. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TomTomTelekom 3,601 Posted August 20, 2017 wow, 2 hits in one day and 3 hits in the last 3 days (Meads, Lewis, Forsyth), not bad.

Sir Creep 7,013 Posted August 20, 2017 Meh, doubt the serious contenders chose him DDP. His is a name the last-minute-throw-a-list-together teams include. No offense. Okay enough about DDP. Jerry Lewis was a good man and invented the damned telethon AFAIK. Top drawer comic.... he and his talent will be missed. RIP SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
