WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Richard Jeni, a standup comedian who played to sold-out crowds, was a regular on the Tonight Show and appeared in movies, died of a gunshot wound in an apparent suicide, police said Sunday.

 

Police found the 45-year-old comedian alive but gravely injured in a West Hollywood home when they responded to a call Saturday morning from Jeni's girlfriend, Los Angeles Police Officer Norma Eisenman said.

 

Eisenman said the caller told police: "My boyfriend shot himself in the face."

 

Jeni died at a nearby hospital.

 

Eisenman said suicide had not been officially confirmed and the investigation was continuing.

 

Did not see that one coming

Too bad. Jeni was an excellent comic.

[SuperJerk]

He had some great material back in the day.

He always did seem unhappy though. I heard somewhere there was a inoperable medical condition to?

Don't give a shit. Suicide is for cowards.

Don't give a shit. Suicide is for cowards.

 

Well at least we have this out of the way, seems like we might need a couple more plus about two pages with a circular argument to get the "Suicide is for pussies" quota out of the way.

 

The guy was pretty funny, but sadly enough this was the most visible he's been in the news.

That sucks, he was a funny comedian, he was on the Bob and Tom show quite a few times and just always had me cracking up.

[CanadianChris]

That sucks. The first time I saw his act, it had me on the floor.

[PLAGIARISM!]

And what a sweet ass.

 

 

 

sorry
