25 celebrities. Need to be someone fairly well-known. I'll notify you if someone on your list doesn't meet the criteria.

I think it might be best if everyone emailed their lists to Musk ... Musk, make sure you inbox has space :)

Wow. David Stern and Don Larsen.
(Point of clarification—these two cannot be added to our lists, obviously?)

You are correct.

I just came across this today. Damn. The MacNeil-Lehrer Newshour was a staple in my household growing up. He was a remarkable journalist. Judy Woodruff has a great essay on him in today’s Washington Post op-ed page.

Not points to be gained, but considered putting Douglas on my list just as a tribute, hearing that he was headed downhill late in 2019. Dan Rather had a tremendous tribute tweet as well.

Probably wouldn't have qualified for the list, but "celebrity" in my world, Larry Barton, Jr. passed away Thursday. He was a long-time MLB scout and was a major influence on some of the scouts that I consider my mentors in scouting, so it's a big name in my world. RIP.

Joe Diffie passed on Sunday due to COVID-19 at 61 years old. While not everyone may be a fan of country music, Diffie had some great songs that spoke to the heartland in the 1990s.
