Didn't see this elsewhere. This guy was cool.

[I'm ALL Right!]

Whoa...that’s a shock. What a shame.

[cripplecreek]

Yeah I liked him.

[To Hell With Poverty]

Sad! My husband and I love his show.

[LiberConservative]

Didn’t see a lot of him, but what I did see, yes, he was funny and cool. And only 50 years old. Far too young. Rest in peace, Bernie.

[visualops]

I was very surprised there wasn’t an earlier thread on this. I thought the guy was hysterically funny. The “Kings of Comedy” stuff is gold. Major bummer, and relatively young too.

[annelizly]

wasn’t this the guy who obama just recently threw under the bus??

[Revolting cat!]

What was his last name?

[river rat]

His humor was drawn from life.....a tough life.

One of the few authentic stand up comedians - he will be missed.

[PGalt]

Condolences to Bernie Mac’s family and friends.

[Volunteer]

Rest in Peace Mr. Mac. You made a lot of us laugh in this life.

[BnBlFlag]

Never heard of the guy!

People don’t take pneumonia very seriously sometimes-it is still one of the quickest killing diseases around.

"Mac died Saturday morning of complications from pneumonia"

This question is out of ignorance, how does one get pneumonia in Aug?

[Bishop_Malachi]

Prayers will go up for the repose of his soul.

[autumnraine]

I loved his show! It is so sad he’s gone and so young!

[fella]

Travel Well, Bernie. I really liked your TV show.

Bernie Mac had sarcoidosis, apparently.

From Wiki:

Sarcoidosis, also called sarcoid (from the Greek sarx, meaning "flesh") or Besnier-Boeck disease, is an immune system disorder characterized by non-caseating granulomas (small inflammatory nodules) that most commonly arises in young adults. The cause of the disease is still unknown. Virtually any organ can be affected; however, granulomas most often appear in the lungs or the lymph nodes. Symptoms can occasionally appear suddenly but usually appear gradually. The clinical course generally varies and ranges from asymptomatic disease to a debilitating chronic condition that may lead to death.

I remember B Mac as a long time charator actor in comedy movies and non comedy movies.

Rough week. Morgan Freeman seriously injured, Issaac Hayes RIP and now Bernie Mac.

Dang makes me feel gulp old er.
