Comedy Central roasts will never be the same! Very funny man but if you've noticed it's been rough for people on the Comedy Central roasts lately. Artie Lange, a frequent guest on the roasts, stabbed himself 9 times last year. It's sad that talented people can have a dark side. Link to post Share on other sites

It's true, I have a good friend who is a great comedian and is actually doing quite well for himself, who has suffered tremendous loss in his life. His mom and sister both died of drug overdoses in the same year. He is one of the funniest people I know. Weird. Maybe is like a defense mechanism or something. As for Giraldo, from what I know he was clean and sober until just recently. I think he and his wife were going through a divorce or something. Link to post Share on other sites

Comedy often derives from sadness and many comedians deal with demons. I read Artie Lange's Too Fat to fishexpecting a good laugh but much of it was very sad and could see he suffered with and battled depression. Just think of Chris Farley ahd John Belushi.
