I’m under the impression that laughter truly is the best medicine. It’s funny how easy it is to get in a good mood just by smiling. Once a week in our office, someone plays a full comedy routine, and we all sit back and giggle. I want to share our good times with you, so every Wednesday, I’ll be giving you a different stand-up routine. Sit back, act like you’re working, and enjoy today’s laugh-inducing video!


 Greg Giraldo - Comedy Central Presents

Greg Giraldo (December 10, 1965 – September 29, 2010) was an American stand-up comedian, television personality, and retired lawyer. Giraldo spoke fluent Spanish and also knew how to play the guitar, having played in a band while he was in his late teens/early twenties.

On Saturday, September 25, 2010, Giraldo accidentally overdosed on prescription medication. Earlier that afternoon, he had been scheduled to appear at a concert at the 3rd Annual New York Recovery Rally, which was being held in New York City "to celebrate the reality of recovery from addiction and offer hope to those who have yet to find recovery." The concert was held between noon and 3 p.m., but Giraldo never showed up. After he failed to appear for a scheduled performance at the Stress Factory that evening, police officers found him in his hotel room at the Hyatt Hotel in New Brunswick, New Jersey, and rushed him to nearby Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital. TMZ reported that he was in a coma for five days until his family had life support removed. He died on September 29, 2010.
