Comedian Greg Giraldo, drug overdose at 44.  Sad.  He was fun on those Comedy Central Roasts.

I used to watch the Colin Quinn show a lot, and really liked Greg.  He was real sharp.  It makes one continuously marvel at the power of drugs, even with people who seem so bright.

Mitch Hedberg, another late great comedian, comes to mind.

Not sure if it's a TANC or a last-minute sked change, but Comedy Central is showing one of GG's standup specials at 11pm.
