They tape them overnight and then watch together in the evening. Joe Garagiolo was a regular panelist, so it seems really relevant in our house. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

princess 1,711 Report post Posted March 29, 2016 Also Shandling's doctor won't sign death certificate until tox and other tests come back.....Could just be a conscientious doctor.... Sounds like Shandling went to doc the day before with complaints and the doc sent him home. I'm guessing the doc who signs death cert knows there will prob be a malpractice lawsuit.

dixiedoodah 1,003 Report post Posted March 30, 2016 I had read that his primary care doctor was asked to sign his death certificate but since he hadn't seen him in more than a year he wanted to wait for the tests. Not sure if that's true but that's what I read a few days ago. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

James Otto Sweet Heart 28 Report post Posted April 6, 2016 ^^^ This is the first time that I know of someone going forward on their own birthday! I love to hear him sing "Pancho & Lefty" with the red headed stranger! For Merle to go now most definitely stands out for me because his son, Ben, actually placed his stamp of approval on a message that I left for the ACM award show powers that be this past Sunday night over at the Twitter website. I ordered them to learn how to remember our legends because during the show they didn't acknowledge any of the ones in country music that went forward this past year. May Merle's passing make them realize how important it really is to never forget those who paved the road the stars of today are walking on.God bless you and Merle's family and the remainder of our legends always!!!Holly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fykeylicious 1,099 Report post Posted April 13, 2016 David Gest - Liza Minnelli ex - dies at age 62 in a hotel in London.... He was genuinely just about to start a tour called "David Gest is Not Dead", so called after someone appearing on the UK Celeb Big Brother show at the start of the year got him confused with David Bowie... If you have about 15 minutes you should watch the clip on YouTube. Truly one of the most hysterical things I've ever seen. In a nutshell: David Bowie dies; his ex-wife, in the Big Brother house, gets called into the diary room to be notified of his passing. Upset, she leaves the diary room and tells the first person she sees (Tiffany "New York" Pollard) that "David is dead." New York doesn't realize she means David Bowie and thinks it's David Gest, also a contestant that season. What happens after that is simply brilliant. They couldn't have scripted a more hilarious misunderstanding if they tried. I like to think Bowie particularly enjoyed it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
