John Pinette, the chubby stand-up comedian who portrayed a hapless carjacking victim in the final episode of "Seinfeld," has died. He was 50.
Pinette died of natural causes Saturday at a hotel in Pittsburgh, the Allegheny County Medical Examiner's office said Sunday evening. Pinette's agent confirmed his death.
The portly Pinette was a self-deprecating presence on stage, frequently discussing his weight on stand-up specials "Show Me the Buffett," "I'm Starvin'!" and "Still Hungry."

"You! Big boy! You go now! You been here for hour, we got no more food!"
That bit set me laughing so hard I had tears coming out of my eyes and couldn't breathe.

Wow, John Pinette, John Candy, Chris Farley. Funny guys but all that weight doesn’t promote longevity.
