Are we overdue for a shocking celebrity death?

I mean a Heath Ledger, Michael Jackson, Prince level shocker? Maybe Paul Walker?

I nominate Justin Timberlake, Hugh Jackman, Ryan Reynolds for this round.

Em.... you have a lot of time on your hands or something?

Is Eminem your official nomination?

Chadwick Boseman was pretty shocking. I think that one will hold me over for a while.

Kobe was just in January. Does that make us overdue? I'm thinking not.

Betty White?

Now we need to quantify what is considered shocking. Betty White dying would be far from shocking. Tighten it up Motown.

Feels like five years ago. That's 2020 for you.

2020 got me all jaded and numb. Will do better next time I promise.

I'm not exactly hip or down with pop culture, but I had never heard of this guy until he died. From what I've read, he was a good dude and an inspiration to a lot of people. Very sad.

to the original question, what is the acceptable time period between 'shocking celebrity deaths"? I agree that Kobe's was probably the last one.

At least you made me think of this SNL skit.

Yeah, between Kobe and Chadwick Boseman, who were both mentioned, I think we've more than had our fill. But it is 2020, so.....
