Stand-up comic Greg Giraldo was hospitalized for an accidental overdose of prescription drugs Saturday night, the New York Post reports.

A Comedy Central regular and judge
on "Last Comic Standing," Giraldo was found unresponsive during a party
in his New Jersey hotel room after performing at the Stress Factory in
New Brunswick, N.J.

The 44-year-old comic, initially in critical condition according to the Post's source, was breathing on his own by Sunday.

In addition to his four nights at the club, the recovering alcoholic had been booked to appear Saturday afternoon at the New York Recovery Rally, billed as an event to "celebrate recovery from addiction."

JimNorton tweeted he died.

Dang, He was funny everyonce in a while.

Damn, he was the funniest of all the roasters by far.

ETA: Nothing in the news about him dying, yet. Perhaps they are waiting to inform family.

ETA: TMZ says he's dead, must be true.

That article doesn't say he died, where are you getting your title from?

Ok, I see your edit and I've found a few mentions online.

It took him 5 days to die, must have been massive liver damage.

Good, he was a douche. Classless, hatefilled, nasty jokes that even this motherfuck found unfunny. Plus every show he was on sucked. Must be why he did drugs, no one liked him.

You are a tard. He was making money the way he knew how, obviously someone found him funny enough to pay him.

I don't think you understand how a roast is supposed to go.

PS: How's business going? I've been curious what kind of projects you have going.

His stuff was OK, though I do agree it was a bit too vulgar for my likings. I can't say I am happy he is dead though.

I have no idea who Greg Giraldo is, but this post made me laugh, and since it was inspired by Greg Giraldo's death, I suppose that means Greg Giraldo made me laugh by proxy. So, good job, Greg Giraldo.

How the hell do you do that?Some special Mod sense or something?

Accidental overdose?
At a party at his own house?
Recovering alcaholic?

The dude's death is a shame. I have no idea who he is or was, but any reader who believes the spin in that article is unfit to vote.

That's unfortunate, I thought he was a pretty funny guy with his standup.

How do you accidentally overdose on prescription drugs? Either they weren't his prescription or he was following it or he was drinking with them.
