Comedian Richard Jeni died yesterday of an apparent self inflicted gun shot wound. He was 45. He did a lot of appearances on the Tonight Show as well as a couple of Showtime and HBO Specials that were very good. He appeared in many TV shows and movies including "The Mask" with Jim Carey. He was a very funny and clean comic and my boys and I enjoyed watching his comedy specials on TV.

Some of us here will remember Richard for the interview he did with Glenn on his (The Richard Jeni Show) during the second leg of the HFO tour. It was a fun a spirited interview and I got the impression that he and Glenn at least knew each other away from the show, possibly they were even friends.

My condolences to his family and friends. This is, I'm sure, an extremely difficult time for them.
