Jerry Stiller Has Died

Roy Horn, Of Siegfried & Roy, Has Died Of Coronavirus
When I first woke this morning and saw images of Siegfried & Roy in my feed, I thought that A) Roy Horn was already out of ICU after entertaining his nurses all week with card tricks, and B) maybe the recent interest in glamorous tiger handlers meant that the legendary Vegas duo would be getting their own Netflix special. But instead, Roy Horn, one of the original Tiger Kings, has died at 75.

Pour Out A Cup Of Confetti, Rip Taylor Has Died
The Hollywood Reporter delivered the sad, very un-celebratory news that the campy confetti-tossing ball of joy known as Rip Taylor has died at the age of 84. Rip’s publicist confirmed the news yesterday that he passed. No cause of death was given, but Rip’s publicist said that he had a seizure and died at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. This also means that we now live in a world completely devoid of legendary Rips, as Rip Torn left us only three months ago.
