R.I.P. Greg Giraldo

[MC PICKS]

WOW, that is shocking to hear. RIP bro.

Those Comedy Central roasts won't be as funny without him. I remember the first roasts I watched with him and I was like who the F is this schmuck? And then he gets on stage and just lights up every person on the dais with the best insults of the night. His Hasselhoff comments were stellar and I guess if that's the last thing most people will have seen from him, he goes out a winner.

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.

Jon Stewart had a small piece at the end of The Daily Show last night honoring him... he seemed genuinely torn up about it. You can catch replays today on Comedy Central

There were ONLY 3 amazing roast guys.. the rest were not even close.. in order as the greatest roasters and funniest..

1- Jeffrey Ross

2 Lisa Lampanelli

3- Greg Giraldo..

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....

Putting Lisa "my entire act is about black penises" Lampanelli above Giraldo is just wrong Nicky.

I'll grant you that one, and I will say that her roasting is certainly better than her standup (which I suppose is what we're basing this on) but I still can't put her above Giraldo. To me Lisa is hit or miss while Giraldo and Ross are virtually always great in roasts. JMO.
