Richard Jeni

Holy crap, Richard Jeni shot himself:

Police found Jeni inside a West Hollywood home Saturday, after responding to a 9:50 a.m. emergency call. The caller, a woman whom officials did not identify, told the operator, "My boyfriend shot himself in the face," Los Angeles police said.

Jeni, whose real name was Richard John Colangelo, died less than an hour later at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. The Los Angeles coroner's office said an autopsy is pending. Jeni's website lists his age as 45, four years younger than coroner's documents show.

That's a shame; he was a funny, funny guy.



And this made me think of Dennis Wolfberg, another great comedian we lost too soon (though in his case it was due to natural causes). Let's enjoy some of his YouTube immortality too.
