In the chagrin-fringed "I Didn't Know They Were Still Alive When They Died" Department, a new entry . . .
Just read on Mark Evanier's blog that the beloved (by some, including me) Match Game stalwart Brett Somers has passed away. This is confirmed on Brett Somers' website (my god, there's a www.brettsomers.com!).
Of course she had a career and life outside of that game show, but I couldn't for the life of me have told you anything about that before reading the links I just included in this sentence. She was married to the Klugmeister? Huh. Somehow makes sense. Grew up around Portland, ME . . . lived in Westport, CT. Whaddya know?
And in tribute, a little piece of performance art from Mystery Science Theater 3000, as Crow T. Robot performs his one-robot show, a tribute to Gene Rayburn, Give 'Em Hell, Blank!:

There are SO MANY things I have to catch up with, and RiffTrax is one of them. Dear god, when will I have the time? Maybe November . . .
