I had to replace two of my picks because they were kind enough to give me points in 2019. I also feel the need to point out that that this was twice as many picks and more than twice as many points as \*\*kopek \*\*had. 😃 Themed List (2020) “Carol Burnett and Friends” Carol Burnett Ruth Buzzi Charo (Maria del Rosario Mercedes Pilar Martinez Molina Baeza) Barbara Feldon Janet Jackson Steve Martin Liza Minnelli Rita Moreno Helen Reddy Neil Sedaka Sally Struthers Lily Tomlin Ben Vereen Alternates: Alan Alda George Chakiris Joel Grey ---

My same list from last year. No one died, which considering that on this show no one ever stayed dead, should not have come as a surprise.

I had planned on doing a M_A_S\*H (the movie) list. There were 13 people who are famous who acted in the film, but then Rene Auberjenois died at the beginning of December. And my concept got snagged by **Mahaloth**. So be it. Now I’m just want to stack cordage. There seems no better place than the NFL for killing people young (and all these guys are 75+, so not bad). So here it is. NFL Hall of Famers from 1970 to 1980. (There are no NFL Hall of Famers still alive inducted pre-1970). Hugh McElhenny (1970) Jim Brown (1971) Raymond Berry (1973) Joe Schmidt (1973) Lenny Moore (1975) Gayle Sayers (1976) Lance Alworth (1977) Larry Wilson (1977) Dick Butkus (1979) Ron Mix (1979) Herb Adderley (1980) Bob Lilly (1980) Jim Otto (1980) Alternate: Willie Davis (1981) Plain List: Hugh McElhenny Jim Brown Raymond Berry Joe Schmidt Lenny Moore Gayle Sayers Lance Alworth Larry Wilson Dick Butkus Ron Mix Herb Adderley Bob Lilly Jim Otto Alternate: Willie Davis ---
