U.S. Comedian Robert Schimmel Dies After Car Accident

Big drag. I liked him a lot.

Kind of ironic to survive a heart attack and cancer, only to get killed in a car crash.

Very sad. I was a fan of his because of Howard, and he had a pretty difficult go of it. Very sad indeed.

Was a big fan of his work, and had the chance to see him live. His cancer powerpoint was something amazing, and a part of his act. Comedy will miss him, that's for sure.

I need to look that up. Just the idea sounds hilarious (in a gut-wrenching sort of way).

Normally, I'd frown on something like that as a subset of prop comedy, but the one other PPP I've seen in an act was really good.
