He was on Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn and pretty much every Comedy Central roast. According to reports, he's not dead (yet) but in critical condition.

Not really a fan, but hopefully he makes it out OK.

I ran into him at Bonnaroo this year... he was wrecked, like out of his mind. Poor guy, I hope he gets better.

I quite enjoy his stuff from the Roasts. That sucks.

Sad, as he is very, very funny, but I can't say I didn't see this one coming.

I think TMZ said prescription pills, but it didn't say what.

...lemme try this again, without the jackassery. >_>;
I hope that he recovers from this, because the man is pretty funny, and this would be a terrible way to go.

The sad part about this situation is that he's been a known addict for years and his OD isn't much of a surprise. He's also a father to young kids, so it's an even more tragic situation.

I'm a fan of his, even having one of his stand-up routines on my MP3 player. It's sad to hear this, and I hope he pulls through. Afterward, he needs to get help, as this has been an issue for a long time.

He makes me laugh and he's a fixture on all the Roasts. Hope he pulls through. And if he does, I hope he tries to make a turn-around like Artie Lange did after his most recent close call. www.tmz.com/2010/09/26/greg-giraldo-suicide-attempt-overdose-hospital/NOT a suicide attempt, and it was on prescription pills. Critical, but stable condition. And if I'm guessing the right hospital in New Brunswick, he's in very good hands.

I like him, and we need more Latinos making strides in the business - not becoming a statistic. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.

Oh wow. That really sucks...I've been a big fan of his since I first saw him on Tough Crowd back when I was in high school. I hope he pulls through.
