I won’t say I was a fan of his - truthfully, I never thought he was particularly funny. But 44 is way too young for anyone to be cashing chips in, intentionally or not.
RIP, guy.

I guess he’s not funny anymore. I’ve seen some of his stuff occasionally on Comedy Central. He was a pretty funny stand-up comic.

From what I understand, he was a Harvard educated Lawyer turned comedian.
The man was a genius. I suspect he might have thought his audience were "idiots" for laughing at his sarcastic truth routines..He reminded me of George Carlin.

If I wanted to listen to a middle aged Jewish guy bitch about stuff, I’d go to my brother’s house.
I can’t believe people pay for that.
I drink to escape it.
