Why are they any more important than anyone else's death?
They are not.
It's in the title.
because we have boring, meaningless lives.
haha
they are on TV
They're not. But if the media announced the passing of one of your loved ones, I'd have no clue who they are. I appreciate them reporting on Saget's death, otherwise I might be left wondering in 5 years why I haven't seem him on tv for a while.

Fair point.
They're not more important. They're just in the public eye so they are noticed.
No one said their deaths are more or less important.
