omedian, Richard Jeni, died today of an apparent suicide. According to CNN.com, he was still alive when they arrived on the scene. He had shot himself in the face. He died later in the hospital.
Richard Jeni was a very funny man. If you have 6 minutes, take the time to watch this video. You will witness first hand his comedic genius. It’s sad to see that disappear.
When I posted this video, it had 15,949 hits on YouTube. There were only 11 videos found using the search term “richard jeni”. My guess is that both of these numbers will expand exponentially over the next few days.

Have you seen Pauly Shore is dead? It’s about the comedic actor that shots himself in the face (or at least pretents to) in order to gain notoriety. Not saying Richard Jeni was doing that, just a similarity.
