Still higher Q-ratings than current crop

WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE DECEASED CELEBRITY? — I’m thinking what this means is that the Deomocrats can run a dead guy for president, right? Oh, wait, they already tried that.

Lucille Ball is America’s most beloved dead star. The company that developed the “Q score” that broadcasters and advertisers quietly consult to measure a personality’s popularity has done a survey that tests the reputation of performers who have gone on to that big soundstage in the sky.

The redheaded sitcom star of the 1950s and ’60s, who died in 1989, has topped past “Dead Q” lists as her comedies seemingly live forever on television, said Steve Levitt, president of Marketing Evaluations, Inc., which conducts the tests.

“What is there not to like about Lucy?” he said.

Bob Hope, John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart and Red Skelton follow her on the popularity list.

“Some of these deceased personalities have Q scores equal to or greater than some of the live personalities we measure,” Levitt said.

Two performers are relatively new to the list: Johnny Carson and John Ritter were both ranked among the 10 most popular dead stars.

    Only the search engine should read it and you better check with it before you do any reproduction, reading or thinking. I read it by mistake. Sorry about that. I’ll check with a search engine the next time boss.
