    WTF, that's nuts. I really liked Richard's stuff. There's a memorial on his website. www.richardjeni.com

    What I want to know is, Why the fuck does a comedian need to own a handgun? Protection from drunk hecklers at the Laugh Factory?

    I've personally known two depressed people who have offed themselves with firearms. Don't keep guns in the house! (Keep them in your car's glove compartment, like I do...)

    RIP Mr Jeni.

    the same reasons anyone who owns one does so I assume. Just because he was a comedien doesnt lessen the chances of him being assaulted or his home broken into(actually it increases the chances because of his fame)
    People always ask me, did I ever learn anything when I was a stripper? Yeah, I did. One man plus two beers equals 20 dollars.

    Not to turn this into a political debate, cameron, but that argument about protecting house and home from invading psychos and robbers is a crock promulgated by the NRA whack-jobs. There are overwhelming statistics to show that a handgun in the house is far, far more likely to be used by yourself against you (suicide), your wife or, my personal favorite, your kid playing "army" with friends.

    Don't have kids. Not going to commit suicide. But my wife??? I am a strip club junkie who is married. I think I'll pass on the firearm ownership, then.

No, my stripclub experience has been about acceptance, and affirmation, and desirability...There have been some women who have a personality that just clicks with mine, and in the faux-sex atmosphere of the club, it's a mix that is completely seductive." - Jay Zeno

    Why people have guns is so not the topic here. Jeez.


    On another note, a good friend of mine is very upset about Jeni dying. He'd shared the stage with the guy years ago.

    You know, comedians are often just on the edge, mentally. When I first heard this, I thought "Why would a guy like that...rich, successful, famous, has it all...off himself?"

    Well, depression and mental illness...I guess money can't help that sometimes.

    There is now a statement on his official site from his family. A coroner's ruling of suicide can take up to 2 weeks, but the family believes it was. Apparently he was diagnosed as severely depressed with bouts of psychotic paranoia last year. www.richardjeni.com

    No, the joke was the bit above about keeping the weapon in my glove compartment. Nevermind...
