In Memoriam 2024: Athletes, Musicians and Entertainers (Episode 149)

You know, when most people think of the Peanuts gang, they picture simple joys: Snoopy doing his happy dance, Lucy yanking that football, or Charlie Brown staring existentially at the sky, pondering the futility of life. What people don’t picture is a shadowy curse hanging over the kids who voiced these characters. But here we are.

Yes, Deados, today we’re tackling one of pop culture’s weirdest urban legends: the so-called ‘Peanuts Curse.’ Now, I know what you’re thinking—‘Curse? Really? This isn’t The Exorcist, it’s Charlie freakin’ Brown!’ And yet, the lives of many Peanuts voice actors have been marked by tragedy, struggles, or just plain bad luck. It’s as if the universe took one look at these kids and said, ‘You know what, it’s not enough for Charlie Brown to lose at baseball. Let’s make life harder for everyone involved.’

So grab your security blanket, brace yourself for a therapy session with Lucy, and join us as we dive headfirst into the offbeat, bizarre, and occasionally heartbreaking world of the Peanuts Voice Cast Curse. Who knows? Maybe by the end of this, we’ll find out the Great Pumpkin isn’t so great after all.” That’s TODAY on Death in Entertainment.
