Celebrity Death Pool 2020

I’m making a change to my list (I forgot to include Jeremy Corbyn earlier). Here is my actual list of 13 assholes who need to die in 2020:

Lukasz Gottwald
Donald Trump
Bashar Assad
Justin Bieber
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei
Pat Robertson
Jeremy Corbyn
Hassan Nasrallah
Steve Bannon
Wayne LaPierre
Louis Farrakhan
Roger Waters
Recep Tayyip Erdogan

Alternates:

Kim Kardashian
James Taylor
Bob Seger

Pete Rose
Donald Trump
Pope Benedict
Newt Gingrich
Jerry Jones
Robert Kraft
Dick Van Dyke
Tom Seaver
Vin Scully
Tommy Chong
Tommy Lasorda
Charles G. Koch
Roseanne Barr

Linda Nolan
Alex Trebek
Terry Jones
James Lipton
Melissa Jaffer
Don Wildmon
Woody Allen
Jimmy Carter
Nick Bollettieri
Doyle Brunson
Noah Antwiler
Bob Newhart
Henry Kissinger
I can clarify if any aren’t known. Don Wildmon is the founder of the American Family Association. Melissa Jaffer is in Mad Max Fury Road, but is known to me for Farscape. The rest are pretty famous. Noah Antwiler is an internet reviewer(Spoony).

Hugh Downs
Willie Nelson
Sean Connery
James Earl Jones
Michael Caine
Regis Philbin
Sidney Poitier
Harry Belafonte
Leontyne Price
Cicely Tyson
Louis Farrakhan
Robert Duvall
Dick Van Dyke

Alternates:

Mikhail Gorbachev
Willie Mays
Yoko Ono

Donald Trump Jr.*
Logan Paul**
Prince Phillip
Mick Jagger
Ken Todd***
Harvey Weinstein
Linda Blair
Donald Rumsfeld
Woody Allen
Rush Limbaugh
Jon Voight
Max von Sydow
Arnold Schwarzenegger

Alternates:
Mitch McConnell
Jack Nicholson

*Don Jr. makes my list for increasingly risky and impetuous behavior. I think he’ll be the first Trump to fall to the “Kennedy” curse. Those who think no ill can befall them are not careful.
**Logan Paul is a Youtube idol who keeps getting into more and more jackasserey. He’s going downhill fast.
***Ken Todd the restaurateur, married to Lisa Vanderpump, not the soccer player

Bill Cosby
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Dick Cheney
Harvey Weinstein
Robert Wagner
Mel Brooks
Kirk Douglas
Dan Rather
Mikhail Gorbachev
Tim Conway
Don Rumsfeld
Pat Robertson
Tommy Chong
Peter Gotti

Paul in Qatar, you only have twelve in your list, Until you get back to the list I’ll list Tommy Chong, your first alternate, as your thirteenth pick.

I suppose it would be bad strategy to point out one who’s already gone? I mean, more points for the rest of us, right? :frowning:

Hugh Downs
Barbara Walters
Diane Sawyer
Charles Gibson
Sam Donaldson
Connie Chung
John Miller
John Stossel
Elizabeth Vargas
Chris Cuomo
David Muir
Amy Robach
Geraldo Rivera

All of whom are or where hosts on 20/20. Rivera himself, being a correspondent.

Not to mention Kirk Douglas being over 100 means he’d garner no points.

They may be going for the Quality, not Quantity Award.

Mostly my usual list, but with replacements for my amazing streak of three (two uniques) this year.

Thank you all for your corrections. Who did I list who is no longer eligible?

John Gotti is dead. His brother is not.
I would remind everyone it is an honor just to be nominated.

Tim Conway. He died earlier this year.

It’s time to recycle most of my list of immortals.

Prince Philip (6/10/1921): Consort of QE2 and the second-most embarrassing member of the royal family after Prince Andrew
Bob Dole (7/22/1923): Former US Senator

Harry Belafonte (3/1/1927): Calypso crooner
Clu Gulager (11/16/1928): Actor in every TV movie in the 1970s. Crow T. Robot is on the lookout for him.
Sandra Day O’Connor (3/26/1930): Former Supreme Court justice
Warren Buffett (8/30/1930): Famous rich guy
William Shatner (3/22/1931): “Shatner’s a good Kirk!”

Alternates:
