Second place is a four way tie as of now. Thus, I am in third place. 😛 ---

NEW YORK (AP) - Pat Harrington, Jr., an actor and comedian who in the 1950s got attention as a member of Steve Allen’s fabled TV comic troupe but secured lasting fame decades later as Dwayne Schneider, the cocky handyman on the long-running sitcom “One Day at a Time,” has died. Harrington died Wednesday at age 86 in Los Angeles of complications from Alzheimer’s disease, according to his manager, Phil Brock. ---

Because I have nothing better to do I went back through the 2012 to 2016 lists of selected celebrities and made a count of how many of them have been there for all five years. Kind of a “these folks are immortal” list. There are, as best I can tell, one hundred and fifty-nine names on the list. Anyone want to know who they are? ---
