Greg Giraldo Will Be Missed
I first came to know Greg Giraldo from his frequent appearances on Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn. He was consistently the funniest and most likable regular on the show.
I was always surprised that he never gained a more mainstream popularity. One of the greatest mysteries in the world is how a no-talent ass-clown like Dane Cook could become America’s comedic sweetheart while a hard working family man like Greg struggled to find a lasting audience and was relegated to the comedic-roast circuit.
I was so happy to see him as a judge on the last season of Last Comic Standing, and once again he proved to be the funniest and most likable person on the show. He was constantly positive and went out of his way to make sure he complimented even the worst comedians - never belittling any of them. A true class-act.
I’ll definitely be missing him and his comedy. We lost another great one today.
