Tonight, a comedian died in New Jersey.

Greg was an insanely funny and talented comic, and the world just is missing out on laughter because of this.
As always, thoughts go out to his family.

R.I.P

I hope you and George Carlin are making jokes together in Nifelheim.

The name wasnt familiar but Ive seen him a few times on cable, and laughed my ass off everytime. That sucks, he was hilarious

I don't think much more needs to be said.

That man was the funniest comedian I have ever seen. It is a shame that he passed at such a young age. I know he will be cracking jokes in Heaven.

Rest In Piece, my friend.

This is a fething shame.

I really, really liked that guy. I need to stop liking comedians if Greg Giraldo and Mitch Hedberg are any indication. It seems to be the kiss of death.

I'm glad that little Jimmy Norton doesn't do drugs.

Am I the only one that feels like this is more or less how Giraldo planned it? I never got the impression he was trying to stay alive.

Giraldo was always the best contributor on the Comedy Central Roasts, he will be missed.

It's a shame that he never reached the level of fame that his talent warranted.

Yeah, based on his comedy dude wasn't looking to grow old.

Still, his material was some of the best I've seen in a long time.

Doesn't mean it's not sad.

Get out those lighters, and meditate on this for a moment or two.
