Was Gary Gilmore the last one to be shot? I remember that one from when I was a kid. Made a movie too, with Tommy Lee Jones, IIRC.

SNL used to do a VERY funny skit about Gary Gilmore wanting to die.

I laughed so hard it hurt.

Nope. Ronnie Lee Gardner was dispatched on June 18, 2010. Five rifles, four bullets.
