        Put it at the end, otherwise, this is knowing clickbait.

        “Dick Van Dyke wins Emmy, at 98” reads very differently than, “Dick Van Dyke, 98, wins Emmy”. We’re trained to recognize structure of the second as a death announcement.

    He’s the original Hollywood nice guy and I hope no skeletons come out after he dies because I want to always think of him that way.

    Also, I totally do not associate him with soap operas, so I did not expect this at all.

      Another old dude who looks great is William Shatner. He is 93 but I honestly would guess 50s or 60s by looking at him.

      Sometimes I write a joke like this and then, instead of hitting post, I hit cancel. That’s worked out pretty well for me so far.

        • Is this really old one better or worse?

          A young man goes to audition for a talent agency. Can you sing? He sings. Not bad! Can you dance? He dances. Hey, pretty good! Can you be funny? He tells a better joke than this one, and executes a spectacular pratfall. That’s marvelous! I think I can sign you, what’s your name? Penis Van Lesbian. That will never do! We have to change it. And so Dick Van Dyke was born.
