He's probably best known for the endless Chuck Norris facts/jokes people have made.
This day was to come at some point. Still, RIP to a literal man, myth and legend that is Chuck Norris.
I did watch some of Walker, Texas Ranger when it was airing on a US based channel for the UK, same one that aired NCIS when I was watching that as it was on before NCIS when I came home from work in my earlier years at work. They were alright, the episodes usually ended with some ass whooping as you'd expect.

Rest in peace, King. I will round-house kick the next customer that annoys me at work in your honor, sir. o7

Walker: Texas Ranger was a very popular TV series in the 90s, but of course if you weren't living in America at the time, you would have likely never heard of the show. That TV show is what sparked the "Chuck Norris Jokes/Facts" culture of the mid-2000s.

In news I completely missed and stumbled onto by pure chance, Jock Blaney, the voice actor for Wolf and Bill Grey in Starfox 64, has passed away at the age of 67.

I've not played Star Fox 64 so haven't heard the Blaney's voice until just now as I went searching for a video.
I swear they kept changing the voices of the Star Fox characters for some reason. Well at least the Smash games they've always been different.
Anyway, RIP to him. 67 is a bit early. I know many have already gone but really puts into perspective of all the voices we heard from earlier games, they're all becoming older and/or passing away, even those we may have not heard before.

I wonder if he knew about the Star Fox 64 remake before his passing or not? I just realized he passed away about 3 weeks before the surprise Star Fox Direct and he obviously didn't reprise any of his roles for the remake.
Also in news that seemed to be very low note for how much notable stuff they did, Ted Turner passed away on May 6, 2026 at the age of 87.
