He should talk to Comedy Central TODAY. He should do a nightly health update about Yasser Arafat just before after the _Daily Show_ – so long as they don’t put him **on** the show. He can continue this for months or years after Arafat’s death.

'Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat ramains dead tonight"

I can’t remember how long he kept making the announcement after Franco’s death. Seems like years, but maybe just through to the end of a season.
