Commentary From DeathPool Central: Over the years, Jonathan/John Szeles, aka: The Amazing Jonathan, has been the greatest source of variance more misspelled/different Death Pool submissions, and more find/replace queries on Jan 1 than any other celeb. While I am surprised that only 3 people picked him this year, I am very happy to know that 2022 is his last year.
