   How old was Doug Kenney when he died?

   • Doug Kenney was a comic genius — but his untimely passing was inarguably tragic. While vacationing in Hawaii in 1980, the National Lampoon magazine co-founder and OG of snark walked past a warning sign and strolled to the edge of a 30-foot-high cliff. From there, he either fell to his death or jumped. He was 33 years old.

    Jan 29, 2018 · No, there wasn’t really a food fight at Kenney’s funeral. But that’s because Kenney didn’t have a chance to write his own funeral. If he had, don’t you think he would have wanted something like that there? And maybe that’s why I love this biopic. It’s not content just to tell you about this guy’s life. It tries to tell it the ...
