Greg Giraldo died today, four days after being hospitalized following an accidental overdose of prescription medication. He was 44.

The news was first reported by fellow comic and longtime friend Jim Norton, who tweeted a photo of the two and the message, "RIP Buddy."

That was followed by a message from The Improv comedy club: "R.I.P. Greg Giraldo ... - One of the funniest MFers every to grace a comedy stage! Will be missed by all. So sad."

He was funny. Definitely better than most of the comedians out there nowadays.

 

[Surely]

Aw, that's a shame.

 

[Mac Kiwi]

Very sad.


He was funny as hell in those roasts.

 

[Counterfit]

Aw man.

He was great on all the Comedy Central roasts and on Tosh.0.

another "accidental" OD of prescription drugs. Hasn't anyone taking prescription drugs learned by now what too much can do? It is a senseless loss, and a great loss for his friends and family.

Too early to go, I say

 

[That-Is-Bull]

Damn. He was definitely one of my favorite comedians. His standup was awesome, and he was the only reason I watched any of Comedy Central's roasts. Wish it was Carlos Mencia or Dane Cook instead. **** sux.

Roast in peace, Greg. Thanks for the laughs.

It would be good to know if I still have another good decade to go. That man just looks younger than the 44 years olds that I know.

Oh drat, I didn't know about this until seeing this thread today. That stinks, I really enjoyed his humor.
