Live at the Roxy, 1978.  Some serious and truly brilliant improv, John Ritter makes an appearance later in the show.

Damn.  :cry:

This is sad; he always came across to me as a fragile person, the way his comedy worked. RIP.  :(

This calls for rewatching "What Dreams May Come" tonight.

Wow, so sad. He was a unique talent, and one of my favorites. I really liked his work, his comedy and movies.   :(

Absolutely terrible news.   :(
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Wow, still can't believe he's gone.  You really take someone like him for granted, like he's always going to be around.

Agreed, and he had films and other work going on, another role in a Night at the Museum film coming out in December.

And yet, Jim Gaffigan is still alive.  Further proof there is no God.

I know.  He has been a fixture of our culture since Mork and Mindy.  Crazy that he is gone.  He was one of a kind and will be missed :(

Terrible for it to end that way.

I was driving up highway 1 yesterday from San Luis Obispo to Big Sur, out of all contact with news or the net.  When I got here (in range of a a cell tower) the first text I got was from a friend about this.

Sad, sad news.  He was both powerful and fragile.  In the end the demons won, but our life is richer for him having been around for the decades he was.

RIP.

Somebody is mad that Gaffigan insulted Maryland crabs.
