    Guy was by far my favorite roaster. He was apparently in critical condition for last few days due to a "accidental" drug overdose.

    This is from Jim Nortons Facebook.
    "Very sad about Greg Giraldo's death. He was one of the nicest, smartest guy I've ever worked with. A brilliant comic. It's hard to believe he's gone at this point."

    RIP Giraldo

    Colin Quinn used to have a show on Comedy Central where him and a few other comics would sit around and comment on current issues. Cant remember the name. He was a regular on the show and was always funny

    I think he went to Harvard Law

    I think Comedy Central would probably pass on that. Besides there is no way in hell any comic would do that.

    Damn that really sucks. He was one of my favorite comics. I had heard he overdosed, but read that he was in "critical but stable condition." I took that to mean he was probably fine.

    I'd probably turn to drugs too if I went to Harvard, decided to get into comedy, became funnier than most other comics yet nowhere near as popular or rich.

    I don't know why, but for some reason I find this both shocking and upsetting. Then again I knew nothing about the accidental OD beforehand so this was pretty shocking to read the OP's title.

    Damn...
