R.I.P. Greg Giraldo

[Dad]

The funny fucker OD'd on prescription pills.

[Dirty Sanchez]

Sad to hear...it's amazing how many standup comedians are trainwrecks.

[Dad]

I loved this guy on the roasts. What a shame.

[B1GER1C828]

he was the best on roasts...big loss.

[Nicky Santoro]

unreal..

is this a joke?? one of my fav comedians. so talented. he was just on last comic standing as a judge. i thought he was finally getting his break.. every joke about him on every roast was how no one knew who the hell he was.. they mocked him like nuts.. is it possible those jokes really got to him at the end??

sad news..

[fsugolf]

wow damn, he was like the whipping boy of the roasts

RIP, what was his name again???

[Cuse0323]

That sucks, funny dude.

[Joe Sharp]

I heard about the OD but didn't know he actually passed. Shitty.

[stealthyburrito]

You can add Bill Hicks and Lenny Bruce to that list.

By the way, anyone know what the medication was? R.I.P. Greg!

[Illusion]

That really sucks.

[BestPlay2day]

Sad news, he was a funny comedian and great on those roasts! RIP!

[scoobs]

Wow, I heard he was in the hospital, but didn't know he died.

[sickler]

Belushi, Candy, Farley----it sucks.

In this case, funny fat guys.

[fsugolf]

fucker =/= ****

[ericthegangster]

**** him. glad he's dead.

[Poster X]

not all people can control their demons.

[rsnnh12]

Sad, sad news

If you liked him on roasts, you should check out his Comedy Central Presents. Can prob find it on youtube. Its from a few years ago, and I thought it would propel him into stardom, but it didn't get the recognition it deserved. Very very funny guy

[vitalogist]

First Bob Schimmel, now Greg Giraldo... those guys were freaking hilarious. In related Stern Show news, Artie Lange took the stage over the weekend for the first time since his suicide attempt just months ago....

[Dutch]

I remember seeig him on one of the first roasts and thinking 'This dude will be getting his own sitcom pretty soon'....Sad.

[Zou_fan]

He was hilarious in roasts. Sucks he overdosed.

[Nicky Santoro]

i saw him in the just for laughs festival in montreal. he was hilarious. i always thought he was talented. he was funny, had great material and had great stage presence..i too expected he'd have his own show one day.. heck, if Dmitri Martin can have his own show, why couldn't he??
maybe he was depressed cause he never had his own show and eventually killed himself.. although he was one of the 3 judges picked this year for Last Comic Standing. i really thought he finally got his break.. and now he's dead.. wow..

[Sledge187]

That dude was funny! He will be missed.

[beach nut]

He was very funny, sad to see him go.

[DiggityDaggityDo]

Are the tickets refundable?

Shit.

[thechaoz]

rip

[tkim8404]

Damn, I didn't know this guy passed away.

[Nicky Santoro]

what i find real sad is no one last night on any talk show talked about him. nor TMZ, not even Jimmy Kimmel who did the roasts with him and had him as a guest on his show.. i didn't hear about him on any news station or anything else. it's like nothing happened.

now that's sad.. maybe he really was a nobody and maybe that's why he killed himself?? He really tried to make it for years now and could never really make it. . i thought last comic standing as a judge would be the start of his new career, but we see how that turned out.. poor kid.

[mmike032]

RIP

I guess we never know whats going on inside someones head.
A real shame.

[sandylinch]
