Just hours before it comes to an end, 2016 has struck again. We’ve lost yet another beloved celebrity. According to multiple sources, William Christopher – a veteran actor best known for his iconic role on the smash hit TV show MASH – has passed away at his home in Pasadena. He was 84 years. Christopher portrayed Father John Mulcahy on the show, having been part of a legendary ensemble cast that included Alan Alda, Jamie Farr, Mike Farrell, Loretta Swit and Harry Morgan. As lore has it, Christopher, who played a Catholic priest yet was Methodist in real life, auditioned for the role … but went off script with a rambling, ad-libbed monologue. Per TMZ, producers absolutely adored the unexpected lines he uttered and hired him on one condition: That he had to stay on script for the episodes. Along with his character on MASH (whose series finale remains the most-watched episode of any television show in history) also made appearances on Gomer Pyle, The Andy Griffith Show”and Hogan’s Heroes. He graduated from Wesleyan University in 1954 and was a member of Sigma Chi Fraternity. A native of Evanston, Illinois, Christopher kicked off his acting career on the stage, appearing in Off-Broadway productions like The Hostage. But it was MASH that made Christopher a household name for years. It ran on CBS from 1972 to 1983. After the program went off the air, Christopher reprised the role for two more seasons in the spin-off AfterMASH. Christopher passed away at his residence from non-lung, small cell carcinoma. He leaves behind a wife and two kids. And we don’t mean to be flippant… this is just getting ridiculous: 2016 can really go home now. It’s obnoxious. Hurry up and get here, 2017.

Congrats! @TheSharkDaymond gets engaged on the set of “Shark Tank” https://t.co/X4Kvf2forV pic.twitter.com/3gcTDxpxH1 — Page Six (@PageSix) September 23, 2016 FUBU Entrepreneur Daymond John Proposes To Girlfriend “Shark Tank” star and FUBU exec Daymond John put a ring on the mother of his six-month-old daughter Thursday, according to Page Six reports : John’s rep, Zach Rosenfield, told Page Six the FUBU founder and CEO proposed at the start of lunch: “It was the last day of shooting for the season, and he had asked her to come to set.” “Everyone was very excited and happy for him,” his rep said. “There were streamers and champagne.” Sounds like quite an event. “Shark Tank” co-stars Barbara Corcoran, Mark Cuban, Lori Greiner, Robert Herjavec and Kevin O’Leary were all on set when it happened. John and Taras’ daughter Minka was also in the building for the big moment. John gave US Weekly the scoop on the proposal and the 9.5 carat ring emerald cut ring he custom designed for Heather: “I was a little nervous,” John, 47, says of proposing. “I had to create a speech. I knew a lot of people were looking at me. You know, you never know how someone is going to react, of course. She could always say no, and that’s the first time that I’ve been on the carpet pitching somebody! So, a little nerve-racking, of course.” The entrepreneur adds that his love “choked up” a little bit, “but she said yes pretty quickly!” “My daughter was sitting in her lap, so I was looking at my beautiful daughter at the same time,” he adds of the big moment, which was caught on tape for them to revisit. He also tells Us that he explained to Heather in his speech that God had given him everything he needs and that he is “rich with love.” As for his favorite thing about his new fiancée? “Her calm demeanor,” he gushes to Us. LOL well that’s unusual. The “Shark Tank” season premiere was Friday night and John is set to co-host this weekend’s Global Citizen Festival. We didn’t want to go there about his fiancée’s race but… Twitter did! Zamn. That wife ain't FU nor BU https://t.co/F4PiCcIPrG — Savi$ Scott (@savvyfatty) September 23, 2016 TWitter/TedKingsbery
