Comedian Greg Giraldo dead

[Bubblehead1980]

Giraldo grew on me and became one of my favorite stand up comedians.I went to one of his shows a while back, he was hilarious.As a regular on the Comedy Central Roasts, he often had the best jokes.Greg was just 44 and died from a prescription drug overdose.I never knew this but Giraldo attendend Columbia University and Harvard Law School.Atter a brief stint as a Lawyer, he put that life behind him and rarely, if ever talked about that life.Guy was bright and funny, what a shame.

Terrible news.
He will be missed.

My favorite friars joke from Giraldo was at the Larry the Cable guy roast.

Giraldo (to Jeff Foxworthy): "Jeff Foxworthy. You look like Magnum P.I. with AIDS."

Camera cuts to Foxworthy (and he does!)

also

"Give a big hand to Lisa Lamponelli. Wasn't he a funny guy?"

Too bad he got upstaged by Tony Curtiss.
