:/

Sad day.

I wish his family the best, he was one of my favorite comedians.

Damn shame.

I had a chance to see one of his shows back in April, but opted to do something else instead -- "I'll catch his next one". So much for that.

He will always be one of the funniest, not-afraid-to-say-it comedians on this planet.

the world is now a bit less funny.
He did his best to make people realize the fallacy of Political Correctness, and did some of the funniest bits EVER, even without swearing...

I liked the guy for years, but recently he had gotten mean. I watched his last HBO special, and he had gone from funny, edgy and innovative, to mean snarly, and nasty. He came across as a mean old man. Even to audience at the venue of the taping did not laugh much. And he didn't seem to notice or even care. Sad. I will miss the guy though.
