Greg Giraldo was such an uncommonly smart and funny comic, it was actually sort of depressing, in a “why can’t I do that” sort of way. A graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law, he was best known for his stand-up, as a judge on ‘Last Comic Standing’, and for the Comedy Central Roasts (and maybe this spoken word song from 2006 that got some decent time on radio). He died today after an overdose of prescription meds at the age of 44. His friend and fellow comic Jim Norton was the first to report the news with an announcement on his twitter.
Though he had a long and well documented history with drugs and alcohol, his death is being considered accidental. And hopefully it will stay that way. Hopefully it won’t be cocaine or something. Because Giraldo was cool, and he had cool stories. If you don’t want people doing coke, you probably shouldn’t make it sound like so much fun.
You mention Lindsay in a post about a comedians death?! You are fucking sad and obsessed!!!
Fuck Larry the Cable guy but I saw Greg Giraldo do stand up once and that shit was hilarious.
I’ve never heard of this Giraldo guy, but if the examples shown above are any indicator, it’s no big loss. He definitely was no Sam Kinison.
he was doing a show one town over from me, and then went to a party and OD’d that night.
MrAdams, you r a tool
i don’t hate funny black people
…..but warren sapp is a retard.
Greg Giraldo went to Harvard Law? WTF?
oxys man, they are turning everyone into junkies and they don’t ever realize it cause it’s a pill not a needle. Wake up people, its heroin in a pill.
RIP
Brandy removed the LILO comment he posted at the bottom! Pussy!
He was pretty funny.
DDM is right.
That’s why I don’t do drugs and only drink pure grain alcohol and rain water.
I wonder what Lindsay’s thoughts on his death are.
what was with that video at the bottom?
Finkle,
We have a nice batch of new Durdens here.
They could really benefit from spending some time with you.
Maybe you can go play catch with CrappyCar later.
Pills are bad, dude. That’s what happens. Stick with weed and booze.
I remember thinking that this was the only episode of the CC Roast that was amusing when it first aired, besides Bob Saget’s. And only because Larry the Cable Guy is a total douche and I wanted to see people rip on him. Greg has always made me laugh with his unique and witty comedy. Shitty.
“You’re killing your father, Larry”
