Were you unaware she's been in a coma since a mishap during surgery a week ago? When she didn't regain consciousness in a couple days I started expecting this outcome.

I don't think the number is unusual, just that we've had a few extremely prominent ones go recently.

Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job.

Yeah, this is exactly what I thought would happen. She certainly wasn't to everyone's taste but she made me chuckle a fair few times. RIP.

Yes, I remember when she called Michelle Obama a transsexual. The uproar was epic, but so help me I couldn't stop laughing.

You may not like her schtick, but you have to respect her work ethic and the fact that she stayed relevant in a field dominated by men for like 50+ years. I mean, how many comedians have you said about: "Man, whatever happened to that guy/girl?" You never said that about Joan Rivers. She was also a exceedingly charitable person from what I understand and have heard over the years.

She always made me laugh anyway.
