Give it up for Greg Giraldo - 3/18/11

On Comedy Central tomorrow night @ 10:30 central. It's a tribute show with clip of Giraldo and interviews and stories from fellow comedians.

I wish they'd done a roast for him.

I thought this was a good, fitting tribute to Giraldo. I hadn't seen that Colin Quinn show footage in a long time, good stuff. Also awesome to hear stories from comics that came up with him.

All he ever did was uncover Al Capone's vault. I really dont think he deserved his own special.

Really good special. I loved the story about him representing Jeff Ross in court. The Tough Crowd footage with Denis Leary was great too.

I think this was really well done. It managed to do a great job of showing us Giraldo the way his friends saw him, as well as encapsulating his career. I was glad they didn't shy away from talking about Giraldo's demons and the things that ultimately killed him... it's a sad but vital piece to his story.
