The pandemic no doubt made the year 2020 one of the saddest and most terrifying years ever on this planet. Losing legends like Kobe Bryant and Alex Trebek made it much worse.
The NBA superstar and TV host are just some of the many shocking celebrity deaths in 2020. Kobe’s death back in January got the year off on a terrible note. The helicopter crash that claimed Kobe’s life also claimed his daughter, Gianna’s, life and those of 7 others.
Trebek succumbed after a battle with pancreatic cancer. He fought valiantly until the end. “Black Panther” star Chadwick Boseman never let on to the world he was suffering with colon cancer. He was only 43 when his shocking death was announced.
Actress Naya Rivera and rapper Pop Smoke were also taken way too soon. She was 33 and he was a rising star at just 20.
The list of legends gone sadly went on … Regis Philbin, Jerry Stiller, Little Richard, Carl Reiner and Kirk Douglas.
Regis Philbin appears on his farewell episode of “Live! with Regis and Kelly”, in New York, Friday, Nov. 18, 2011. After more then 28 years, Philbin signed off U.S. morning television on Friday, long after setting a world record for the most time on TV. Philbin, 80, has logged more than 17,000 hours on television in a career that dates back to the 1960s. He gained prime-time fame as host of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” a decade ago. But his enduring impact was as a morning show host, turning stories about something as simple as a dinner out on the town into compelling viewing. (AP Photo/Charles Sykes)
