Is it too soon for a Greg Giraldo joke? Sure he’s only been dead for a day, and accidental drug overdoses are nothing to laugh about–they’re a real downer– but Giraldo was a comedian, a damn good one. Rather than hanging our head down low and crying about the passing of our favorite Comedy Central friar, we felt that a fitting tribute would be a posthumous online blog roast.
At the height of his success, Greg Girlado was
sharing a
stage with Lisa Lampenelli and Gilbert Godfried; did an overdose kill
him, or
was Comedy Central playing a mean joke?
He’s roasted David Hasselhoff,
Joan
Rivers and Pamela Anderson, among others, but the only thing these
people have
in common is a dead career.
Greg was so desperate for work, he OD’d just
so his
friends would roast him at a crematorium.
Greg Giraldo will be missed, and the comedy world
lost a
good one. Roast in peace, funny man.
