The challenge is that most of the people being listed are living quiet lives out of the public eye. Stan and betty were pretty active almost right up until their ends.
Norman Lear and Mel Brooks are still quite active, just not on screen as much as Betty was. Tony Bennett gave up performing recently due to Alzheimer’s. 😟
I wouldn't describe the most popular people being listed: Morgan Freeman, Mel Brooks, Dick van Dyke or Dolly Parton as living quietly out of the spotlight, they're all active to this day
Oh, it's the anniversary of Lucille Ball's passing. Lucy sent her flowers every year on her birthday and since she ordered ahead of time, they got to Carol even though she just found out Lucy died.
I hate these threads because ultimately people on them end up dying soon after but please god, not Dick Van Dyke. I used to watch the reruns of his show when I was a little kid in the late 80’s/early 90’s and his trip over the foot rest was… perfection. May he never trip again because it could break a hip and send him to the grave.
Don't hate to say it. These are my top choices for UK and American old people too. They have some fantastic medlies together. I will cry like a child when they go.
Jimmy Carter's full name is James Earl Carter. This is important to no one, just an interesting coincidence that you would list him with another James Earl.
I was on The Price is Right back in 1986. I won at Plinko. I was so stunned I just walked off stage. On the VHS tape my parents made it was clear Bob stuck his cheek up to me and I just blew him off. Regrets. I have regrets.
Bob barker is hilarious. He really is a gem. On Roku tv, you can watch classic Bob barker 24x7 for free, it’s my favorite thing to watch and Bob roasts the contestants. He has kind of a Daniel tosh vibe, down to proving he’s better than the contestants at every game.
He lives in my neighborhood in Manhattan and is often seen with his wife of 50+ years holding hands and kissing. Still in love... he towers over her too so it's kind of amusing.
It seems like Morgan Freeman went from being a wise man to a wise old man when he played God in Bruce Almighty. And that came out 19 years ago. So Morgan Freeman has been America's wise old man for almost two decades.
Didn’t Morgan fall off the map after some sexual abuse came to light? I just remember him going to be Vancouver’s train voice or something then it came to light and got scrapped. Haven’t seen or heard of him since
William Daniels, age 95. I could have sworn that I read his obituary a few years ago, but I must be thinking of someone else because he's still kicking.
Stan Lee and Betty White weren’t just token old people. They also had rather wholesome personas and very long careers. But most importantly, they were also still culturally relevant at the time of their passing.
Stan Lee shaped comic books and Betty White shaped television. Both were pioneers in their fields, and showed how truly fantastic both mediums could be with their inventiveness.
James Hong! He's a 93 year old Chinese-American actor that's a character actor. He's been acting since 1952 and co-founded East West Players, a theatre organization for Asian-American actors.
I'd say national treasure but he's not from my country. World treasure? I'm going to have a really shitty day when that currently 95 year old is in the news again. :(
Dolly Parton better not fucking die before I do
a finger curls on the monkey's paw
I recommend that anybody reading this goes to Dollywood at least once in their life
Say nothing! This is a trap
It‘s a trick! Send no reply.
Oh... ugh Mitch McConnell. Yes, clearly beloved by the people, I sure do hope nothing unfortunate happens to... Mitch McConnell.

Nice try Satan.
The challenge is that most of the people being listed are living quiet lives out of the public eye. Stan and betty were pretty active almost right up until their ends.
Didn't he just retire due to his health? I know he performed pretty recently with Lady Gaga
Norman Lear and Mel Brooks are still quite active, just not on screen as much as Betty was. Tony Bennett gave up performing recently due to Alzheimer’s. 😟
I’d have thought Bernie Sanders but evidently not
I wouldn't describe the most popular people being listed: Morgan Freeman, Mel Brooks, Dick van Dyke or Dolly Parton as living quietly out of the spotlight, they're all active to this day
Mel just published his memoirs last year, and is rumored to be working on History of the World Part II
Dolly Parton

Gereatric politicians?
Damn there really is a subreddit for everything
The Murder She Wrote lady, Angela Lansbury.
Another Brit, and another 1925 birth. Must have been a good year.
Carol Burnett just turned 89 today
Oh, it's the anniversary of Lucille Ball's passing. Lucy sent her flowers every year on her birthday and since she ordered ahead of time, they got to Carol even though she just found out Lucy died.
That's 34 in MeTV years.
And Julie Andrews is still kicking! They need to do something together, again.
We love you Miss Hannigan
I was a big fan of the Carol Burnett show as a kid. That and SNL were the comedy shows to watch. Hee Haw was for old people, so I didn't like that.
Happy birthday Carol Burnett!
I don’t know why my brain was thinking she was already dead. I’m glad she isn’t though
Dick Van Dyke
The Dick Van Dyke Show aired before the Beatles released their first album.
Had no idea this dude was still alive. Good for him!
December 13, 1925 (age 96 years)
Hey now, it's 2022. Let's use the less rude version of his name. Richard Van Lesbian.
The **** Van **** show! Starring **** Van ****!

Henry Winkler agreed on Twitter to be America's grandpa, since we lost Grandma Betty.
He's already America's Cool Uncle. Hey, no double-dipping, there, Winkler!
He's great on Bill Hader's show Barry.
I loved that tweet, and he should be much higher in the thread.
Henry Winkler is an American treasure.
Is he the guy from that one episode of Law and Order: SVU?
He's very good.
I bring you a dear, sweet man. Mr. Henry Winkler.... COVERED IN BEES!
Dolly Parton is a living saint.
nothing you can say will convince me or literally anyone else in the entire world she's old though, even her birthdate won't be enough
Christopher Lloyd.
He was only 47 in back to the future. He's been an old man for most of his life.
The ACTOR!?
This is a good one. He was America's crazy old scientist 36 years ago
He was great in Nobody.
Great Scott! You’re a genius Marty!
Ooh, I hate to say this, but Julie Andrews and Carol Burnett.
Don't hate to say it. These are my top choices for UK and American old people too. They have some fantastic medlies together. I will cry like a child when they go.
Mel Brooks.
Mel Brooks fought in WWII defusing land mines in the Battle of the Bulge
June 28, 1926 (age 95 years)
His death is gonna make me cry like a damn baby
He needs to hurry up with Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money.
Jimmy Carter and James Earl Jones
Jimmy Carter's full name is James Earl Carter. This is important to no one, just an interesting coincidence that you would list him with another James Earl.
Just met James Earl Jones. Guy was 90+ and super awesome. I hope to be like him at his age and totally with it.
James Earl Jones
Willie Nelson
He can't be the spokesperson for America he just spends all day smoking weed.
April 29, 1933 (age 88 years)
He just lost his sister and longtime musical companion, Bobbie Nelson. She played piano in his band for like 50+ years
Willie!!!
An absolute legend in his own right but I still think that his cover of
Bob Barker. He’s 98 years old. Perfect!
Not gonna lie I thought Bob barker was dead already lol
Dick Van Dyke is 96 and is still in great shape.
And he can still kick Adam Sandler's ass.
I was on The Price is Right back in 1986. I won at Plinko. I was so stunned I just walked off stage. On the VHS tape my parents made it was clear Bob stuck his cheek up to me and I just blew him off. Regrets. I have regrets.
:O I didn’t know he was still alive
I say he's 99 years old
Now you’ve had enough. Bitch.
Bob barker is hilarious. He really is a gem. On Roku tv, you can watch classic Bob barker 24x7 for free, it’s my favorite thing to watch and Bob roasts the contestants. He has kind of a Daniel tosh vibe, down to proving he’s better than the contestants at every game.
You do know he had dozens of allegations of him sexually assaulting the women on the Price is Right, right?
Dolly Parton
Interesting. In terms of popularity and how the majority of people really like her, it fits. But I still don't think of her as that old.
Still Young and wonderful!
Honestly, she's too young for the kind of old we're looking for.
Alan Alda
He lives in my neighborhood in Manhattan and is often seen with his wife of 50+ years holding hands and kissing. Still in love... he towers over her too so it's kind of amusing.
Bill Hader's impression of him is perfection
Yes!
His podcasts are brilliant. He really needs to stick around a lot longer.
I was certain he died years ago.
He was the first that came to mind when I saw this!!
I love mash. And I was actually surprised to learn he was still alive a few months ago.
Morgan Freeman
It seems like Morgan Freeman went from being a wise man to a wise old man when he played God in Bruce Almighty. And that came out 19 years ago. So Morgan Freeman has been America's wise old man for almost two decades.
Dick Van Dyke is currently 96 and still alive.
He's been old for like twenty years, back when he was young.
June 1, 1937 (age 84 years)
Didn’t Morgan fall off the map after some sexual abuse came to light? I just remember him going to be Vancouver’s train voice or something then it came to light and got scrapped. Haven’t seen or heard of him since
Bob Newhart
Still, I think, in a way, in a very meaningful way, that, uh, that I, uh, uh, all of us, have, uh, have learned from him.
He's still hilarious.
Omg. Started watching the Newhart show on nick at night at like 11. Amazing.
U/pezdal ?
his cameo on the simpsons
Hi Bob!
Carol Burnett
she has a show at the chicago theater like this week (saw the marquee last night)
Wait what? She's still alive?
I'm choosing Henry Winkler because he's getting more exposure on social media,.plus actively working (on Barry)
Oh, he’s very good!
He’s from that once episode of Law and Order: SVU
Mel Brooks 95 years old.
Dick Van Dyke
Christopher Walken
Oohh, yeah.. He’s great in Severance!
Mr. Feeny!!!
William Daniels, age 95. I could have sworn that I read his obituary a few years ago, but I must be thinking of someone else because he's still kicking.
John Adams. He's obnoxious and disliked. That cannot be denied.
He's still KITT to me
For God's sake, John, sit down!
Feeny?! Fa-fa-fa-fa-feeny! Feenay! Fee-hee-heenay!
FEENY! FEEHEHEHEHENAY!
I vote for Dr. Ruth Westheimer.
She was old and I was a kid!
She told me about my clitoris!
James Earl Jones
James Earl Jones.....Who else could be Luke's Father !?
And Simba’s
And Simba’s 😈
Not David Prowse
Jimmy Carter
October 1, 1924 (age 97 years)
Lily Tomlin
President Carter. Just building houses and whatnot.
Arguably the best ex-president we've ever had. Taft was chief justice though, so take your pick.
Shaking hands with everyone on the plane, a la Hannibal Buress.
Eradicating guinea worm, too. And monitoring elections to protect democracy.
Bob Barker
I didn't even realize he was still alive. He's 98!
Buzz Aldrin
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UT022qOk31w
That guy that yells at the moon?
Ahh oh my goodness, I commented Michael Caine. But Buzz Aldrin is the world’s grandpa (and the moon’s, too I suppose).
THIS.
Steve Martin.
Steve Martin's looked 70 since the 80's.
No, I forbid it.
Dick Van Dyke is certainly in the club at 96
Dick van Dyke!
Dolly Parton Dick van dyke
Shit. Didn't know that was her full name.
Dick Van Dyke. He’s 96 years young.
Bob Barker is still around somehow
Stan Lee and Betty White weren’t just token old people. They also had rather wholesome personas and very long careers. But most importantly, they were also still culturally relevant at the time of their passing.
Jeff Goldblum is that old?! Jesus. The only thing about him that looks different from Jurassic Park era is his hair.
Stan Lee shaped comic books and Betty White shaped television. Both were pioneers in their fields, and showed how truly fantastic both mediums could be with their inventiveness.
James Hong
Him or George Takei.
Cartwright? Cartwright?
That'll suck big time. He's always such a delightful surprise when he shows up in things.
Danny DeVito.
Dick Van Dyke was 19 when DeVito was born.
Danny DeVito is a treasure to be protected at all costs but he's not that old
Sam Elliott
June Lockhart (Lost in Space) is 96, and has some recent IMDb credits. Norman Lear is 99, and still producing!! Mel Brooks, too.
Willie Nelson
[удалено]
My votes on Mandy Patinkin. He’s just wonderful :)
Dick Van Dyke
Bob barker
Dolly Parton and she's the QUEEN! The perfect person to take the torch from Betty White!
Larry David
That answer is pretty, pretty, pretty good!
Bernie Sanders
Sam Elliot
James Hong! He's a 93 year old Chinese-American actor that's a character actor. He's been acting since 1952 and co-founded East West Players, a theatre organization for Asian-American actors.
Shatner, he's 91.
Isn't he Canadian?
He's notoriously a bit of a dick though.
Mel Brooks
How is there no love for Alan Alda!?
Dolly Parton!
Agree!! I tell my husband all the time, she’s America’s sweetheart. Love Dolly!
David Attenborough
A Brit as America’s poster old man, I love it
I'd say national treasure but he's not from my country. World treasure? I'm going to have a really shitty day when that currently 95 year old is in the news again. :(
Henry Winkler.
Covered in bees!
He’s very good.
Bob Newhart. He's still alive.
That would actually be a great title if Bob ever did another show: "Bob Newhart: He's Still Alive."
Maggie Smith
Tony Bennett.
Kathy Bates
Mel Brooks! He’s 95
Don't believe anyone's said Norman Lear yet, so I'll throw his name out there!
Bob Newhart
Harrison Tyler - the grandson of the 10th U.S. president John Tyler (1841-1845)
Though he is only 86: Alan Alda.
Morgan Freeman
It has been Dick Van Dyke for like 30 years.
