He’s one of the famous guys in which you didn’t recognize the name, but you knew the face due to the hat he used to wear in his older years. I couldn’t even tell he lived up to 81, since these photos make him look like he was in his 60’s.

Or to me, he was one of those guys who you didn't really know how old he was because he looked the same for the past 40+ years. Kurtwood Smith (Red Foreman), Leslie Nielson, Wilford Brimley and Jerry Stiller all fit the same mold too. In my mind, they were 60+ years old for 40 years. Hell, Abe Vigoda was 80 years old for 40 years!

Less than two months after the death of Bob McGrath, another founding alum of Sesame Street has died, although this time it was someone crucially important behind-the-scenes instead of an on-camera personality.

Lloyd Morrisett was an experimental psychologist who, in 1968, along with television writer and producer Joan Ganz Cooney, co-founded Children's Television Workshop (now Sesame Workshop), the production company that would create Sesame Street, and, later on, The Electric Company, 3-2-1 Contact, Square One Television, Ghostwriter and many more educational shows, (honestly, looking at the list, a lot more shows than I knew about and that's not even counting all of the international versions of Sesame Street).


Lloyd Morrisett died on Monday, January 23rd, 2023 at the age of 93.

This gentlemen was also a curator and understanding of children’s psychology. Morrisett deep down knew what children and parents alike wanted when it came to development and knowing right from wrong.

I’m willing to argue that for a time, it seemed that both Lloyd & Cooney along with Jim Henson of Muppetts fame were the brainchildren of the idea that children should be children first and learning could be fun.

Simon Dunn, former Australian rugby player, dies at 35.

Dunn also engaged in LGBTQ activism and got in a public spat with rugby union star Israel Fola who publicly proclaimed that all gay people are going to hell during an appearance on Sky News.

Dunn blasted the homophobic culture of rugby, saying, “There is still homophobia in sport. It’s a culture that has been created and embedded over decades, and I think we’re still at the tail end of that with the work we need to do to put an end to it,” the Daily Mail reported.

Activists also praised him for publicly kissing his partner after his rugby team, the Sydney Convicts, won their final in 2018.

Lance Kerwin best known as Mark Petrie in Tobe Hooper’s adaptation of Salem’s Lot has died
Click to expand...

Lance Kerwin also played the lead character James Hunter as a teenager in Boston in the 1977-78 coming of age drama TV series James at 15 (later James at 16), which I vaguely remember because a teacher showed us the TV movie pilot in a high school class over a decade later.

And as various commenters on Breitbart mentioned, he was probably "Pfizer-ed".

Maybe. He was also entering the age where men, especially gay men, are more likely to kill themselves. On the younger side, but if a man of note dies between the ages of 41 - 55 and there's no specific cause referenced, suicide is the safest bet.

No, he was killed by an evil villain called Dr. Vaxx. He is behind every single death since 2021 - even the death of your goldfish. He also followed Julian Sands to Mt. Baldy and vaxxed him into the afterlife. And he keeps getting away with it! So always remember: around Dr. Vaxx never relax!
