I can't imagine pulling the chain with a young child.  His daughter is 11.  I could see taking oneself out after the kid is old enough to fend for herself, but it's just unconscionable to me to do that to a kid. 

He looked really awful in this season's shows so maybe he was terminally ill.  If that's the case, then I get it.  Otherwise... sack up.

First guy was a wrestler when we were kids I think.

I've heard the name Jerry Lawler before, but not Brian Christopher.

Sorry for your loss. I hope these idiots bring you some entertainment because the Cowboys never will.

Thank you to all the Eagles fans for condolences, this is a good bunch here.

He had a decently popular run during the Attitude Era as half of the tag team 'Too Kool' I believe. Grandmaster Sexay was his ring name at the time.

I'm not even sure how to react to this...her pipes were insane. She had unbelievable, pitch, range, harmony. The only person I've ever heard close to her was Whitney in her hey day (yes, before she died of course). I can't even think of a close second.

easily your all time worst take which is crazy in its own right but possibly the worst take by anyone ever

im not even saying she was the best or my favorite but if this doesnt make the hair on your arms stand up then you are either dead or the whitest human thats ever lived

Exactly the sort of absurd sendoff that old bastich deserved.  He was responsible for opening the door to Trump by selecting Sarah Palin.  He sat back and did nothing while the GOP went off the rails.  As far as I'm concerned, his service in the military, while admirable, doesn't mitigate his acts as senator.

I Dream of Jeannie star Bill Daily died on Tuesday, September 4, at age 91

QuoteIn addition to his role on I Dream of Jeannie, Daily's additional acting credits include Bewitched, Mary Tyler Moore, CHiPs, The Love Boat, Newhart and Bob. He was also among the main cast on The Bob Newhart Show from 1972 to 1978. He starred alongside longtime friend Bob Newhart as his neighbor, Howard Borden.

He was hilarious on The Bob Newhart Show.
