What sort of controversy was there regarding whether or not Hedberg should have been allowed to die?
 
🙁 I just saw him do a show a couple of days ago. I found out about it at Wikipedia of all places. That really sucks. RIP, he was great.

My apartment is infested with koala bears. It's the cutest infestation ever. Way better than cockroaches. When I turn on the light, a bunch of koala bears scatter, but I don't want them too. I'm like, "Hey... Hold on fellows... Let me hold one of you, and feed you a leaf." Koala bears are so cute, why do they have to be so far away from me. We need to ship a few over, so I can hold one, and pat it on its head
 
This sucks if true! It's weird that I popped in his CD just yesterday and was listening to it on my way around town. Funny, funny stuff.

"The recipe on Sprite says it's lemon and lime. But there's gotta be more to it than that. I asked my friends if they wanted some more Sprite, and they said, "Not until you figure out what the fvck else is in it!"

"I'm tired of following my dreams, man, I'm just gonna ask them where they're going and hook up with them later."
 
This sucks, I love dry, clear cut humor...I remember first seeing him on Dr. Katz a long time ago, he's always been funny

RIP to a damn funny guy

If Hedberg had been brain dead for 15 years and his family members were fighting over whether or not to keep him alive, then I'm sure he'd get more attention.

Who gives a sh!t about Terri Shiavo? She's not funny.

She kinda is. Not as funny as Mitch, though.

That's cause she couldn't talk. :Q
 
In memory of Mitch I've uploaded a live show of his from Nov. 4, 2004 in Chicago @ the Congress Theatre to my server. It is an audience recording, but good quality. I'll be happy to post the url if the mods allow it. Otherwise you can PM me or email me.

RIP Mitch 🙁

The AP put out a story on it, and I'll bet CNN will cover it as well.

If ABC News thought it was newsworthy, I don't see why you think CNN would be too good for it.

I think it shows unusual dedication for a comedian.

If you were a career comic, wouldn't that get your rocks off?
 
He will be missed. King of the one-liners. Just thinking back on some of his routines is making me laugh. There won't be another like him. either. His unique delivery was a good portion of his act. My condolences to his family and friends.
