Welcome to the list of 'biggest misses' by the Committee.  Wasn't Hall on the list before?  Gotta know when to hold em, and when to fold em.

He seemed mentally sharp and wasn't really frail in his last few public appearances,since he had no reported illnesses it seemed plausable he could have made it to 100.

I knew him because of the Monty Hall problem. One of those logical problems you fail to solve if you think too much about it.

You have 1/3 of probability to get a goat if you change and 2/3 to get a car. If you are Sardinian you better not change.

So we had Don Pardo, announcer of SNL until his death at 96. TBH I didn't think the producers would let him retire, he probably would be doing his job past 100.

 

Johnny Gilbert,

Another person who doesn't appear to be going soon but may be possible...

His voice is still strong at 93, doesn't sound like one though, but he and Trebek have been mainstays since 1984.

Thread merged into Quiz Show Hosts, Johnny Gilbert doesn't really have enough to warrant a standalone thread

20th anniversary reboot of Who Wants to be a Millionaire...

 

 

Chris Tarrant steps aside for Jezza , and given his mentions on here over the years you do begin to wonder 'why'..

He owns a good part I thought?

 

If he could do the gig, he would.

Seemed OK in those railway things from last year. Thought - to do with his stroke? Apparently it was quite bad, and he had/has to do speech therapy. iirc most of his talking bits were voice over, so in recording booth with script, not in front of a live audience.

With Jill and Paul being actively discussed, let's remember the most important Gascoigne.

 

Yep, Bamber Gascoigne is 84 today! :birthday:

Did you say The Young Ones? Cliff or 80s comedy show? Ha!

 

Which gives me the excuse to say Ade Edmondson is 62 today! :birthday:

Okay, but if it turns out to be cancer or if he’s suffering from complications I want my thread back.
