The people who know the answer to that are dead,

 and they’re not telling us anything.

 This skit from Chris and Jack takes a look at what may be in store 

for this one guy when he buys the farm. 

It’s a little reminiscent of the classic scene of St. Peter meeting you 

at the Pearly Gates to announce your final disposition.

 Except it’s not like that at all.

Often the subject of a death hoax, actor Abe Vigoda died  January 26, 2016

 at the age of 94. 

Vigoda was known for a number of roles, 

especially his portrayals of Sal Tessio in the Francis Ford Coppola film The Godfather,

 and for his portrayal of Detective Sgt. Phil Fish 

on the television sitcom series Barney Miller from 1975 to 1977

 and its spinoff show Fishin 1978, both on ABC.

Vigoda was reported to have died in both 1982 and 1987

 and since has been the subject of many jokes in that regard. 

 He had a good sense of humor about the rumors.

He had been on hospice care recently until his death earlier today 

at his daughter’s home in New Jersey.

Fish is now sleeping with the fishes.
