He was only 44 years old. :(
Admitted to the hospital five days ago for an overdose of pills.

He'd been doing pills and booze for years. Tried to go clean and sober a couple years ago....

If Greg Giraldo is cremated, will that be the "Greg Giraldo Roast"?

Oh, man, my arm is killing me...

I've been punching cab drivers in the head to fight terrorism.

And, uh... yeah. Some guy said, "You shouldn't do that." I said, "Officer, let me explain.
"It's a numbers game. If I...
"If I punch a thousand cab drivers, I'm getting two or three al-Qaeda." What are you doing about it?

John Pinette passed away. :(

His bit about the Chinese buffet is gold. "You here four hour. You scare my wife." :rofl:

Pinette had recently lost over 200 lbs. WGN in Chicago showed a video of him at the station last Nov. after his weight loss. He said he had so much excess skin he could have made a wife.

RIP
