Saw him walking in Easton one time. He was probably performing at the Funny Bone that day...I just remember his tattoo and that he was with a chick that was smokin' hot. Very sad to hear.

Giraldo was really nice to me when I met him in New York. I wasn't a huge fan of his stand up. But his roasts were legendary. Sad when a guy like that goes too soon.

I'll never forget standing on stage at Gotham Comedy Club, and Giraldo saying to me, "you're a funny dude...you definitely need to keep at it because there's definitely something there." That comment meant a lot to me at the time...but it means even more to me now.

RIP Greg.

Well then step up your game here on OC...not sure I've ever seen anything funny from you...except when you say things about ND being a good CFB program! ...(that was actually too easy).

Why would I step up my game here? I am not getting paid to entertain anyone here. Like I've said before...pay me, and I will try to make you laugh. Until then, why should I give a shit?

I don't know why people feel that comedians try to be funny 24/7. Sure there's a few that will try to take their stage persona off stage and are always talking in bits. But I would say 95% of the comedians that I've met aren't trying to be funny unless they are on stage. As a matter of fact...the douchebags that I've met in this industry are the ones that are always trying to be "on." The cool people that I've met have normal conversations off stage and aren't trying to crack jokes and impress people all the time.

....Society still got you...Back to School clip I kind of chuckled. You should be Canadian, they are much more funny than the American comedians.

There's a few funny Canadians (Jeremy Hotz, Jon LaJoie, Norm MacDonald...in his own awkward weird way, Seth Rogan). But for the most part, I would put an American comedian above any Canadian comedian.

But if The Kids in the Hall is more your thing, by all means...enjoy dudes dressing up like girls. That's not my cup of tea though.
