Way to spoil a happy moment, Daffy... sheesh

Okay, I apologize for that. I'm happy that Julie is still with us as well as Brooke Sheilds and quite a few other TMS guests.

So on a side note, I saw that today would have been Tony Bennett's birthday. Happy birthday in Heaven, Mr. Bennett.

I just heard that Kris Kristofferson, who guest starred alongside Rita Coolidge in an episode of Season 3, passed away at the age of 88.

Linda Lavin's passing means we have reached the tragic milestone of 75 guest stars now deceased.

It's getting harder and harder to name TMS guest stars that I'm 100% sure are still alive.

The only ones I can think of off hand are:

-Julie Andrews
-Elton John
-Alice Cooper
-John Cleese
-Steve Martin
-Paul Simon
-Sylvester Stallone
-Brooke Shields
-Debbie Harry
-Carol Burnett
-Lynda Carter
-Mark Hamill
-Paul Williams
-Ben Vereen
-Candice Bergen
-Leslie Uggams

Brooke Sheilds is still with us? Wow, I saw even on the ep she was in she's getting up there. JK.

Actually, I can think of quite a few that are still with us, starting from season 1, there's Joel Grey, Ruth Buzzi, Rita Moreno, Paul Williams, Sandy Duncan, Candice Bergman and possibly one or two of the Mummenschanz. I think you already covered our surviving guest stars from later seasons.

Wow! Makes me wish I had time to watch all 75 of those eps as a tribute.

Just a side note, I know we have added "Muppets Tonight!" Guests to this list as well, at least I have, so we also have Tony Bennett, Prince, Coolio, Don Rickles, which takes us up to 79. Who am I missing?

Little Richard is another.
