Sean was the only celebrity death that actually made me cry. I realized that through the dark days of my life, it was his humour and banter that really got me going back on track, the cynical jests and his ability to always sacrifice himself to keep a joke going to avoid the dull moments on a show. We lost a titan in the industry and I feel he was so underrated and underappreciated prior to his death, I hope he truly knew how important he was to so many of us.

Such a candid interview. This was a real pleasure to watch. RIP Sean.

[@MrPsyJak]

The thing I love about Sean's brand of comedy was that he sometimes touched upon dark humour, but always in a boyish way. He did cheeky, and he did cheeky so well it often flew under the radar just how clever he was for toeing the line. I'd never seen Jimmy emotional before, but his line about Sean still being with us was lovely.

[@cd-zw2tt]

he truly did have a knack for toeing the line. I think his self-indulgent grin that he always had whilst telling his jokes always added to it.

[@scousewillo62]

I think Sean was the first person to physically hurt me because I laughed so much I could not breathe and my sides hurt. He could start the slow fuse going, build it up and before you know it you are in pain. A comedy genius that is sadly missed. Of course we still have Jimmy who is a very special comedian and story teller

[@Tht1Gy]

it's fun to know that Rachel and Susie are on-board with Jimmy's jokes about them.

I rarely get sentimental about celebrity deaths, but when Sean passed, I was just devasted. A man I never met, but whos humour and jokes made me laugh and got me over some dark times, it felt like loosing a great friend.

[@Maerahn]

And best of all, he did that BECAUSE he was such a good friend to Jimmy. Sean knew that, once he'd publicly ripped on Jimmy on his own show (a safe environment for him) and Jimmy had got through it, Jimmy would be bulletproof to anything the media or anyone else threw at him. The media would have no ammo left to throw, because theirs would be pathetic by comparison. It was exactly the kind of protection a kind and wise father figure would give.

This was quite a crazy thing: I had covid and was just lounging at home when I found the show. It made me laugh so hard and I binged it for a few days. I instantly fell in love with Sean's comedy and when I googled his name to see if he had specials, I found out that he had passed the day I found out about 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown.
