God, I hate this one.

Few people have made me laugh as much as comedian Richard Jeni. His 8 minute call to Bob and Tom shortly after 9/11 was one of the things that helped me find my sense of humor again after such abject tragedy. He’s responsible for some of the funniest, most biting comedy in the past two decades.

And now, he’s dead. Dead, of an apparent suicide.

I’m completely stunned by this. I would say I hope that it was an accident, because I hope to whatever God is out there that this man didn’t feel that ending his life was the only option. Saying that though seems crass, since it doesn’t change what happened.

All I can say is thank you, Mr. Jeni.

Out.
