Greg Giraldo - The Worst Healthcare System

[@designchik]

One of the best comics ever. RIP, Greg.

[@baldwinwallace4926]

If you listen to his stand-up, you can see where his wife was behind his death. A LOT of jokes about a nagging wife who just can't ever be happy about anything and the luxurious life that he's provided for her.

[@baldwinwallace4926]

A man jumped off a cruise ship to get away from his wife ... which sounds crazy ... to anyone who isn't married.

[@xilo3012]

awesone comedian, today he would be rich and succesful with KZbin series or something, a pity he died. most of comedians cant even compare with him.

[@nickbargas7352]

@@baldwinwallace4926 It was the drugs, not his wife. He couldn't kick them and he knew it was going to kill him and they did. A graduate from Harvard law school. He was so quick witted and a natural at his craft of comedy. We all need to take ownership of our weaknesses and stop blaming others for our problems. He was his worst enemy. RIP Greg!!

[@onnietalone3181]

well said, yes beginning of the end? one o the best his degree is a testament to his ability to overcome challenges,, I watched him closely found his energy was unsustainable, his roast of favor flay, crossed the line in some mind s, seen it live recording does not do it justice, one can never forget comedians are given a (BIG) break,,,we can crucify them, sanction them but then the spirit of the dark humor that life deals us all is not truly understood? I have read other comments yes will say yes to them all in a way possible, we know our heart loves the better half,, for better or worse, can say more but out of respect for her (them ) will bow!>3 he died on tour as I know, sorry may be wrong, he died alone in his room, could have been his last show, a true treause to us s I did see him, he can be just only for adults who do not wish to tear him apart, now does not matter anyway as no one can hurt him anymore, yes he did a shot of some say heroin or coke, he got a hit that was more pure than his last shot, he never stood a chance, all ones like him only wish to dissect our ways and brig us laughter and a view that only some think, no he would never hurt anyone, let us remember who and for what all comedians stand for, I F you have to use, get the antidote ready we need all of you, May rthe Good Lord show others your way, r,i,p, thanks for the memiories, said to an Adutlt Entertainer!

Sad that Mitch Hedberg and Greg Giraldo, two very creative comedians who both killed it in Montreal, are both gone long before they should have been.

[@351cleavland]

Its sad, yes. Its also sad that they both died of drug overdoses. Its sad that people around them saw what was going on and did the safe thing by realizing there was a serious problem in the person and DID NOT do any sort of intervention. Never underestimate the desire not to create a 'Scene."

[@Nathan_Bunga]

Yeah, let's blame the other people.

[@351cleavland]

You can make it about blame if thats how you want to see things. You can make it about caring for another. HOw you look at it will determine how you will respond. I have a family member who got hooked on heroin. I was the only one who did anything about it. I wasn't into blame. I was into getting the person help because I cared. Its about taking responsibility.

Relationships changed a lot because of that. The problem is that no one cares anymore. Someone will break up with you, over any little inconvenience... with a loooooooong text.
