Mitch Hedberg - I was lucky enough to see him perform his stand up comedy routine at the Improv a few months before his sad and unexpected death. That night was truly magnificent. Every word that came out of him became a laugh riot. Mitch had a one of a kind sense of humor. News got out that Mitch died, and I was out with my girlfriend, when my friend had called me to inform that he had just passed away, it was on the news. If there is one way to ruin someones night, this would be it.
Phil Hartmen - Man this was so long ago it seems. I became familiar with Phil mainly from The Simpsons, and sadly, remember him well in that Jingle All The Way movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Hey I was a kid at the time, and that movie rocked. So I get home from school, and my Mom is on the couch. She says "Phil Hartmen was killed today." What? So I watch the news, and he was shot to death. What a horrible way to go. He seemed like a nice guy.
Chris Farley - Yeah this one was hard to take as well. I remember being online
Is it just me, or do these events stick with you too? I find it odd that I remember what I was doing when I heard about these deaths. Mitch Hedberg was by far the hardest for me. Seeing someone in person only to hear they died not to long after is tough. As for the others, they were entertainers. Just like all of us, we become fond of these people. It's as if you know them, and even if they don't know you, it doesn't matter.
