R.I.P. Greg

As I sit here watching The Daily Show, I heard Jon Stewart mentioned the death of comedian Greg Giraldo; at first, I assumed he was joking, but since my laptop was next to me, I decided to check online and it turned out to be true. As a fan of all comedy, I know of him and his comedy and personally, I found him to be very funny. He was a veteran of Comedy Central; one thing he was known for was his numerous appearances on Comedy Central Roasts. He was a "lesser known" comedian (and other comedians would mention that in there own routines), but believe me when I say that he was good. He died on September 29 due to an overdose on prescription drugs; he usually joked about his drug addiction in his stand up routine, so I can't say that I didn't see it coming. To me, this is another sign of the world ending; the economy is crap, the Tea Party is getting bigger, the world is running out of helium, and now Giraldo is dead. The comedy world has suffered a great loss, and the world is laughing a little less. Greg Giraldo, you will be missed; Comedy Central's next roast just won't be a roast without you.
