BARF Death Pool......

I'm gonna go with Don Rickles (but I love the guy)... with the passing of Fred Travelina over the weekend, Ed, and Farrah, it pretty much would complete a "Tonight Show with Johnny Carson" guest line up from about 1979.

Fred Travalena just died....you all lose :(

Some of you would have to go way back to know who this guy was, but he was a pretty damn good impersonator.
 
How does this work?

You pick a celebrity and if they croak then what??

My pick is Jeff Conaway (the blonde headed guy from Taxi) Saw him on celebrity rehab and he's a mess (and a nasty person too)

Comedian Fred Travalena dies of cancer

Comedian and impersonator Fred Travalena died Sunday afternoon after a seven-year battle with cancer. He was 66.
Comedian Fred Travalena had a 40-year career in show business.

Comedian Fred Travalena had a 40-year career in show business.

Travalena -- known as "The Man of a Thousand Faces" -- died at home in Encino, California, surrounded by family, according to his publicist.

He was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2002 and prostate cancer in 2003. Following five years' remission, the lymphoma returned in 2008.

"Since that time, he has been in and out of treatment, consisting of chemotherapy, surgery and radiation," spokesman Roger Neal said.

During Travalena's 40-year career, he entertained audiences with impressions of celebrities such as Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Bob Hope. He was a regular on the "Tonight Show," with Johnny Carson.

Travalena is survived by his wife of 39 years, Lois; sons Fred IV and Cory; daughter-in-law, Kelly; and a granddaughter.

Private services will be held this week, with a public memorial service to be announced later.

Heh...you expected me to actually read this thread? I guess I assumed that since there were still wagers being made, nobody had reported it. I read the first and last post.

Besides...I actually quoted the article. I'm still useful and valid! Yay!

:twofinger
 
Fred Travelina, now there's a blast from the past. Wasn't he on "That's Incredible" or something like that?

I always remember him from the "Tonight Show" when it was 90 minutes, Merv Griffin's show, and whenever Dave Thomas would do his "Bob Hope" character in skits on SCTV (the "Fantasy Island" one with John Candy as Tattoo comes to mind), he did it as Fred Travelena....
 
what? We want more death?

Claudius Maximus would be proud :)
