No Agenda News

July 22nd, 2026
Dear Producer,  

For a man who spent decades famously predicting the catastrophic demise of almost every major technological innovation, it is with the heaviest of hearts we must announce that John’s own hardware finally gave out on Monday morning, July 20th, 2026, at the age of 80. He went peacefully, albeit suddenly, with Mimi at his side, critiquing the acting and story line of NCIS.

John loved doing the show, loved the feedback, good and bad. He was not a man known for affection, but he had a deep appreciation for you all. He enjoyed entertaining you, challenging you, debating you, and most of all meeting you. He enjoyed reading your emails and letters more than he would ever admit.

John will miss No Agenda.

The good news is that the show will go on, as John would demand. Tomorrow's show, episode 1888 (his favorite number, how fitting)  will be a remembrance of JCD with stories and anecdotes from his family and friends about the man you've known, and most of you liked.

We would like to invite you all to write in and share. Donations over $88.88 will be read on air. Click here to send a donation in celebration of JCD's legacy. Email your notes to notes@noagendashow.net

Needless to say we are all devastated, but we look forward to honoring John’s memory with you, on tomorrow's show.

Tomorrow's Show

Mimi and Adam will be hosting tomorrow's show. Joining them will be family and friends of John, telling stories and ribald tales of Buzzkill. It will be an Irish wake in JCD's style. 

All donations over $88.88 will all be read on show 1888, and on show 1889. 

One thing is certain: the show will remain strong, and sharp, as John would have wanted. 
The No Agenda family is not ending, but evolving.
