I still don't know if this is for real...
But according to Stern, and, supposedly, a messageboard post by Lance Bangs, the comedian Mitch Hedberg died sometime last night. Which, of course, is a total bummer; not only was Mitch maybe the most hilarious guy around, he was also amazingly nice and normal-seeming the two times I got to talk to him. If this is true, it's a pretty horrible loss for comedy. I know he had a wife, and I believe they might have had some kids, and so our hearts and prayers go out to them.
I got to interview Mitch in February for the Flagpole; here's the article that came out of it. It's unbelievable to think that, less than two months later, he's now no longer with us.
