ArmchairRedskin Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 I was a huge fan of this guy. I caught every possible appearance I could on TV. His one liners and the way he delivered them was pure gold. RIP Mitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NY_Skinsfan Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 How about... I find that a ducks impression of me depends on whether or not I have bread. Not his best but for some reason the first time it caught me off guard and I couldn't stop laughing... I saw him live a year ago...this is some bad news...he was really funny....RIP man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sir Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 My friend said that his own website was reporting earlier today that it was an April Fools joke that got out of hand. But the website isn't up anymore because it exceeded it's bandwidth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sir Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 Disregard that, I think my boys an idiot because I saw countless sites saying that he's died and they're much more credible than him. I looked all over and couldn't find any site saying anything different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roqnap1 Posted April 1, 2005 Author Share Posted April 1, 2005 His website does say that it was last updated 04.01.05 but mentions nothing of his passing. I know I am a fool (on ALL days, not just today)...but I still want to hold on to hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Sassy Molassy Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 Damn, I can't believe it! He was such a good comedian. Definitely a sad day in the comedy world. R.I.P. Mitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carter23 Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 yes this really sucks... i never really got into him, but by reading all the jokes on the front page, he seemed to be really funny he actually died in my hometown, which is even stranger... can't think of any reason he'd be there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Follow-up: Report: Mitch Hedberg died of drug overdose NEW YORK (AP) — Comedian Mitch Hedberg died accidentally in March of "multiple drug toxicity," including cocaine and heroin, Spin magazine reports, citing reports filed by the New Jersey medical examiner's office. The medical examiner's findings were filed in May, according to an article in the January issue of Spin about the convergence of comedy and rock 'n' roll. Hedberg, 37, died in a hotel room in Livingston, N.J., while on a club tour performing standup. The comedian, who was born with a heart defect, was initially believed to have died from heart failure. He had struggled with drugs and alcohol, and took a hiatus from performing for several months after a May 2003 arrest in Austin, Texas, for felony possession of heroin. In the Spin article, Maureen Taran, a comedy manager who knew Hedberg, is quoted as saying that life on the road is difficult for a struggling comedian. "It's a very lonely existence," Taran says. "If you aren't born with manic-depression, you will have it after being in this business." A hit on The Late Show With David Letterman, on which he appeared 10 times, and The Howard Stern Show, Hedberg once was dubbed "the next Seinfeld" by Time magazine. But TV-series fame eluded him because his unique style of mumbled one-liners didn't lend itself to the sitcom format. Born in St. Paul, Hedberg rose through the ranks at Minneapolis' Acme Comedy Co. and caught his big break through a Comedy Central special. He had a role in the film Almost Famous— smoking fake pot with Peter Frampton — and appeared on Fox's hit series That '70s Show. Hedberg had two popular comedy CDs, Strategic Grill Locations and Mitch All Together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
