Richard Lewis, y’all. A massive coronary at age 76. A friend noted that on this new season of Curb Your Enthusiasm he hasn’t looked well. He was a funny man. I mourn. It seems that a death of a comedian hits harder. I’m still sad about Gilbert Gottfried.

Huh. Didn't know Gottfried died last year. I liked that he would stick his neck out.

Also just discovered P.J. O'Rourke died last year too... 74 a little short for this day and age, but, granted he was a heavy smoker.

You're on to something with the hit of a comic's death.

Gottfried died four years ago. He was the first comic unafraid to joke about 9/11, undeterred by the “too soon” crowd. He was hilarious.

What ? Multiple internet sources are stating April 12th, 2022. Or 1 Year 10 months 19 days ago.

It'd be nice if there was an easily accessible full collection of the dozen jokes for Japan's 2011 tsunami disaster. Best one I can find is "Japan is really advanced. They don't go to the beach. The beach comes to them".

No more OJ Simpson. He was great in The Naked Gun and The Towering Inferno.

I heard he did some other stuff too.

Can you fit a coffin in a ford bronco? They seem rather short.

Kill a white woman and get away with it? Do I dare live out the American dream?
