EW has confirmed that comedian Patrice ONeal has passed away after a long-term battle with diabetes. The news came today from the official Twitter stream of The Opie & Anthony Show, on which ONeal was a regular guest. His booking agent Matt Frost released this statement:
It is with terrible sadness we must report that Patrice ONeal has passed away this morning at 7:00am due to the complications of the stroke he suffered on October 19. Many of us have lost a close and loved friend; all of us have lost a true comic genius. His mother, who was also his best friend, was at his side. Patrice is survived by his wife, Vondecarlo; his step daughter Aymilyon, sister Zinder, and his mother Georgia. The family wishes to thank all of the fans and friends who have expressed an outpouring of love and support for Patrice these past weeks. We ask that you please respect the familys request for privacy at this difficult time.
Known for his dark, confrontational humor, he was featured on the Comedy Central Roast of Charlie Sheen, Tough Crowd With Colin Quinn, The Office, and Scary Movie 4. ONeal was hospitalized earlier this year after suffering a stroke.

He brought tears ta my eyes... Damn! He will be missed. Even by this white-boy slave...
Let's reserve a spot for Uke's UN-favorite 'televangelist' Billy Graham. One of the biggest scam artists ever ta invoke the holy name of Gawd while railing against the devil, who never bothered messing with him.
Uke perdicts ol' Rev. Graham never makes it home again. With all the money (stolen, scammed, ripped off, donated, unearned by honest work...) the rev can't sniff a miracle. And that's what he may need this time.
Get that box ready, dig a hole... He's headin' ta the last hurrah at the big church in the sky!

Pull that plug! Shut that life-support machine down! Let him go! Quietly...mercifully. Finally.
On that note, anybody heard anything about Zsa Zsa?

Not that there's anything wrong with that. Who the heck was Pat Cooper? Debralee Scott? What'd Carol Wayne ever do, but she was in all of these type of shows back then.
