Comedian Heather McDonald hospitalized in Tempe, Arizona
McDonald collapsed and hit her head on the floor after she delivered her second joke: “I’m vaxxed, double vaxxed, boosted … and flu shot and shingle shot and haven’t gotten COVID and Jesus loves me most.”
As soon as she delivered the joke, she just collapsed and hit her head on the floor. Everyone thought at first it was all part of the act, but it was not. She was conscious, but clearly, all was not well. An EMT and a nurse happened to be in the audience … they rushed up on stage to provide first aid.
The 911 call came in as a seizure, but no one really knows yet. An ambulance came and paramedics tended to Heather. Heather tells TMZ she felt somewhat dizzy when she was on stage and then just collapsed.
She says it’s never happened to her before.

He killed as Hitler.
Seen it....been a while however
Still one of the funniest film performances of all time. In fact, the entire cast was terrific, including Kenneth Mars as playwright Franz Liebkind and Christopher Hewett (Mr Belvedere) as the cross-dressing director Roger De Bris.
We should all be thankful Mel Brooks was in his prime 50-60 years ago. Today, if he pitched something like “The Producers,” or “Blazing Saddles,” he’d be permanently canceled in Hollywood.
And Richard Pryor was one of the main writers for Blazing Saddles, they might have cancelled him too.
In before all the “just a coincidence’ nay sayers.
This was a direct afront to Christ...when I read the story i felt a sharpness in my spirit.
Ii was remembering the story of Herod being lauded and boastful so an angel of the Lord smote him because he gave not God the glory.
I believe he was merciful with the comediene; Christ seemed to treat women better than the guys in ancient Israel anyway. But given the stories of those times, the men had it coming when Christ would admonish them, the women...maybe not so much admonishment but rather mercy and a gentle push to “go and sin no more!
Hallelujah to that! Great line yourself, you must have been divinely inspired. :-)
My cousin is max-vaxxed and has fallen down a few times recently, once in the street.
I do that normally....................
Pryor was also the first choice to play Bart, but his drug problems made him “uninsurable,” according to the studio. Of course that changed when Pryor became a major box office star. Not the drug problems—just the studio’s willingness to tolerate them, because Pryor made a lot of money for them and himself. Unfortunately, he put most of those paychecks up his nose.
