This dude's body of work was massive, so a funny obit should be easy. But we are STILL trying to figure out what happened to him in that mud room.
Jimmy Carter · 100

died 5 years ago today
September 18th, 1933 — May 15th, 2020He said he was born in 1939, but census records (and his daughter) say he was born in 1933. So your beloved comedian was a liar.
