    I was waiting on this, but some pretty big names are saying it now too.

    http://www.tmz.com/2010/09/29/comedian-greg-giraldo-dies-overdose-prescription-pills/

    Greg had been hospitalized in New Brunswick, NJ after he overdosed on prescription pills last weekend. A source said the overdose was not a suicide attempt.

    Giraldo was best known for his celebrity roast appearances. He had also been a judge on "Last Comic Standing."

    A source close to Greg tells us, "Greg passed away today at the hospital in New Brunswick as a result of an accidental overdose. His family was by his side."

    We're told plans are being made for a public memorial service.

    Holy **** crazy if true. Dude had been struggling with it for a while. Wish him the best if he's still struggling and if indeed he has passed on then may he RIP.

    :(

    I had heard about the overdose and in the same story they made it sound like he had stabilized and was going to be ok. I had no idea he was still standing at death's door.

    RIP


    There's no responsible way to do drugs.

    Damn, damn. I hope this isn't true. I really enjoyed his style. He will be missed.

    Damn, that's sad. RIP. He rocked it on the roasts. That's a big loss.

    Patton Oswald just tweeted "Just went way out of my way not to drive past Laugh Factory. If I see Giraldo's name on that marquee, gonna lose it."

    very sad, and let's be sure and remember that it is extra important that we have sympathy because Greg Giraldo is famous.
