Oscar Wilde's last words were, "Either that wallpaper goes, or I do." Apparently, the wallpaper won out, although it was changed soon afterwards. Of course Groucho Marx couldn't resist one last quip either: "This is no way to live!" he is reputed to have said. And, if you do it right, you'll find the famous last words encoded in this meta puzzle: an apt two-word phrase. Answer & explanation: https://www.xword-muggles.com/viewtopic.php?p=142976#p142976

Ha! I was thinking it might be “watch this!” The giveaway was 19A (which I knew immediately, I might proudly add!) — that plus the title words and 6D so close by make this a great puzzle to hand to a rookie as a smooth, gettable meta (though Enid Blyton is brand new to me at least… needed a google). Thanks Ben!
1D is a reference to "Frozen", not "The Book of Mormon"!

Oh, right. I forgot he was in that too. Thanks.

Lol! Tried a wild guess, then went back to basics and AHA!!! Famous Amos is a thing, and a brand of cookies - oh where did I see that earlier…. ding!
Fun one!
Ben, that was absolutely DEVIOUS to have the ends of the themers be "almost" the same as the prompt. It took me FOREVER and a course correction to stop looking at the last words as if they were copies of the Title, but as words themselves. "Famous Amos...hey wait, sometimes a cookie is NOT an OREO and then it was off to the races. The FIVE was more difficult I'll admit, but luckily Google knew about them. You are to be severely punished for the endings and rabbit holes oyu sent me down (while I was trying to fix the tragedy of a "stepped on" mechanism for my own puzzle.
The similarity of three of the endings to the title was entirely unintentional, I assure you! I've already posted here about the inspiration behind this puzzle. But I also very much enjoyed getting OREO in as meta-significant, not just fill!
Wow, aren't metas interesting. I swore that was the mechanism (and swore, and swore, and swore) for a very long time. It just seemed too juicy to be coincidental. But like you say, nice to have Oreo be somehting more than a sweet face!
Fun one, thanks. Needed the third nudge because even though I spotted Famous Amos pretty quickly I had somehow convinced myself that MOST was the last word in the second themer. Oops. :) Didn't know the Famous Five despite being very familiar with NODDY, so had to google that one, but easy enough.
Huh, never heard of ALMOST Famous or Famous FIVE, never would have got there without the nudges on this one. Of course I wondered about Famous Amos right away, but abandoned it when the others didn't work out. Learned some new things today :)
Fun one, Ben! No nudges needed - just needed time to devote to it. Well done!

Needed the 2nd nudge to keep me from trying to utilize the two long multi-word down entries 3D and 32D (since I expected a longer phrase that four letters).
I expected that the last word of the phrase was key, but needed the 3rd nudge to add the missing link my (after which I knew the rest of the mechanism) - but I still needed to google to identify the cultural references for the last second and third themers, and then backsolved to prove the last letter. So no way this one was going to come to fruition without much help. Good effort on your part, though.

Good one! Needed the nudges… I was trying to use the “last word” but not with “famous”!
Very clever ! Thanks, Ben!
