Good news: Abe Vigoda lives!

Bad news: Ed McMahon died this week.
The good news: Abe Vigoda is still alive!
McMahon, 86, was the longtime sidekick to Johnny Carson on the Tonight Show and as the host of Star Search launched the careers of many performers, including Britney Spears.
Vigoda was on the old sitcom, Barney Miller; he was in the classic movie, The Godfather; and he has appeared in numerous other films and television specials.
Unfortunately, his claim to fame has always been looking like he was on death's doorstep — not the best attribute for a public figure.
Since the publication of a People magazine article in 1982 which incorrectly stated he was dead, Vigoda has been actively assuring people he is in fact, still alive.

As of Wednesday he was still alive and well, thank-you-very-much.
In fact, at 88, he still plays handball, lives on Manhattan's Upper East Side and was a recurring guest on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, including the finale.
Personally, I'd be a little miffed if people kept mistaking me for dead, unless it was the Internal Revenue Service.
