Alan Alda

[gcreptile 11,066]

He'd need another co-morbidity to be worthy of inclusion- even though I'm proud to have created the thread.

[The Daredevil 1,193]

Looking at all of this year's 50 candidates, Alda is the one I least expect to die this year, followed by Cheney.

 

Realistically, Alda could still very well make 2028, maybe even 2030 (although 2030 is pushing it a bit).

I don't think the new picks are bad, it's bringing in the next generation. Can't have the same 96-year-old picks every year.

This is just a personal anecdote, but back in October, I visited the Landmark Tavern in the Hells Kitchen section of Manhattan. Had the place to myself and the owner was quite friendly and talkative. A few weeks prior, there had been a big celebrity bash, and the owner had managed to take a few selfies with several of the guests who included Jimmy Fallon and Lawrence O'Donnell. One of the was Alda and he looked didn't showing any signs of advanced age or ill health.

Although, he was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease in 2015...not sure how extent his condition is now though.

I cut my toenails today. As interesting as your anecdote I’d say.

I love how Zorders isn’t even trying to hide who he is anymore when he tries to make an alt

Jamie Farr would have been a better selection this year.

[The Daredevil 1,193]

Keeping active on his weekly podcast- Clear + Vivid

 

Still sounds sharp, potentially one to be dropped in 2024.

He seems in fine health as well actually. Nothing concerining I can find from this year.

Big form-spotting opportunity for all the MASH cast here.

The most likely one to be dropped from 2024 Deathlist.

If his podcasts are anything to go by, the man seems to still be in good condition. I recently listened to one where he and Mike acted out a scene from M*A*S*H written by chatGPT, and I swear to God he sounded the same as he did decades ago.

I highly recommend his podcast. 

 

He has a very soothing + informing way of going about it. 

[The Immortal 642]

New interview last month (a good portion of it talks about his Parkinson's and perspectives on death). He seems quite stricken by Parkinson's now, shaking throughout the video. Probably in the end stage now.

[Comped 534]

Has outlived his film counterpart, as Donald Sutherland has died. Having just checked wiki, it does appear that the film has many more of its major cast members still alive compared to the TV show (and even spinoffs).

 

Alan seems fine - still releasing podcast episodes and making appearances elsewhere.

[Captain Hemlock 748]

Gary Burghoff was in both the movie and TV show. Also, I believe he’s the youngest cast member in either one.

Indeed, but the main TV show still has more major cast members dead than the spinoffs or the film at this point (at least according to a quick wiki search0. He may be the last one left at some point, but who knows...
