Episode 250 - Eric Dane: The Gift of Final Words

About this episode

Mitch Albom reflects on the final words of actor Eric Dane, emphasizing the importance of leaving behind messages for loved ones.

On this week’s Tuesday People, host Mitch Albom and producer Lisa Goich reflect on the final words of actor Eric Dane, who recently passed away following a brief illness with ALS. During a confidential taping of Famous Last Words in November 2025 with host Brad Falchuk—an interview he understood would be released only after his death—Dane left behind a message for those he loved. Inspired by his farewell, and echoing the wisdom Morrie has shared on this podcast, Mitch reminds us that when planning your estate, don’t forget to leave behind your words for those you love.
