R.I.P. To Bernie Mac

Sad news to report this morning… comedian Bernie Mac has passed away due to complications from pneumonia.

Details are sketchy at the moment, but he had been hospitalized for a week, but earlier reports said that he was responding well to the treatments. Bernie also suffered from sarcoidosis, which is an inflammatory lung disease that produces tiny lumps of cells in the body’s organs, but it is said that the condition went into remission in 2005 and it was not related to the pneumonia. He was 50 years old.I would like to send condolences out to his family, co workers, and fans… Bernie was a special dude. I met him during the Def Comedy days, and I worked with him on the set of “Who’s The Man?“. I remember calling my brother every day with tears in my eyes because Bernie Mac had the set DYING EVERY DAY WITH HIS HUMOR. It was like a free show daily (I think he went through all of his routines and tested them out on us).

This was my introduction to Bernie (I was there live for this show, and he was soooo funny that he MADE YOU NOTICE HIM)

    Man what a loss, Bernie was indeed one of the greatest funny men in the business, as with Robin Harris we lose the good ones early, but that is because they are needed to make others laugh in another place ya dig? RIP Bernie, my condolences to the family…
