Comedian John Pinette dead

Surprised this wasnt on here already..

This guy was one of my favorites... saw him a few times live. He could crack me up with no effort at all.

Sad to see good comics die before their time.

I saw something on Reddit that mentioned him with a "RIP" and I figured he died 15 years ago from being fat as fuck. This is (somewhat sad) news to me.

Sad indeed. He was one of the greats. Very talented.
"I say Nay Nay" and "I'm Starvin' " were great videos, even though there's some overlap in material.

What pisses me off is the bit of coverage there was in the media labelled him as a Seinfeld actor. AFAIK he had a minute or 2 in the series finale.
He's certainly more worthy of credit as a stand-up comedian and Broadway actor.

I guess he isn't "still hungry" anymore..

And no love for Mickey Rooney?

He put on an EXCELLENT live show. His "Get out of the line" and "Free Willy" bits were probably my faves.

I agree about the media only focusing on the Seinfeld bit... pretty sad that they didn't focus more on his immense talent for comedy and broadway.

:cry: Funny without being filthy, a dying art these days. Enjoy the great buffet in the sky.

Because you are in the minority. There are way more people who heard that and said "Oh, that guy!" and then they knew who died.
