One thing I loved about Greg’s roasts was he never paused for a laugh break in his delivery. A lot of comedians deliver the joke and then go silent to allow for the laughter, but Greg never did that, he’d just do joke after joke back to back, he was like a machine gun.
I used to see Greg all the time at the Comedy Cellar in NYC. He killed EVERY SINGLE TIME. Super smart, insightful, funny and tragic guy. One of the greatest and I really miss his work.
Fun fact: Greg passed the Bar exams after attending Harvard Law, and worked as a lawyer for about a year before he quit. In 1993, Jeff Ross was being charged with inciting a riot. Greg had the case dismissed after 2 sessions.... Pro Bono. Which is a crime in itself, he should have let that Hack rot in jail. (I'm teasing, love you Jeff) Worked that hard, for that long, and still realized that his passion lead him elsewhere. You really are a fucking legend, thanks for all the laughs.
We shared the same birthday..he was so talented and tortured by his own observations and righteous dismay. He was actually a Harvard or Yale graduate in law. What a loss for the comedy world. RIP beautiful Greg. If you had known your own worth, you would still be here.
I remember when he was.up and coming. He was killing it with those roast shows. I had really liked him on comedy central, than all of a sudden, he was dead. Such a loss. It seemed as though he was on the cusp of being a star. RIP gone but not forgotten.
@@gabster-ie1vj I knew about Patrice ..diabetes related but freakin Artie Lang?!?! From the Stern Show? Damn it that one escaped me....read his book I could relate to his drug use and being banned from All You Can Eat establishments.....RIP Big Fella
Now for me personally watching this on CZcams I actually own the DVD but having to go through all the trouble of putting it in and dealing with all that shit for you to make this on CZcams where I can just watch it is fucking awesome and I want to say thank you because yeah it's Greg giraldo and the poor guy deserves all the fucking respect you can get cuz he was awesome
@@sloper013 This is true! But why are we celebrating and accepting the life of someone who was either racist or an asshole, bigot...etc..I am sure you get my point.... the living should never excuse that or be okay with that. Would we still celebrate the life of Hitler? Would we only cherry pick the nice parts of an evil person? I don't tolerate the intolerance and would never give a shit about people who were once an asshole racist or bigot or psycho. A lot of stand up male comedians are actually deeply fucked up people who abuse women on a daily. The only male rational stand up genius comedian was George Carlin and he has my respect forever beyond into infinity...
@@julief634 But why are we celebrating and accepting the life of someone who was either racist or an asshole, bigot...etc..I am sure you get my point...answer: because everyone fits in between those 3 dots and the etc.I don't tolerate the intolerance and would never give a shit about people who were once an asshole racist or bigot or psycho. -> also everyone fits this description. Who hasnt been an asshole once in their life??? Ok Julie, we have established with almost certainty here that you and George Carlin are probably the only 2 decent people on this planet. And George is dead ....
Do you like Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Ralphie May, Josh Blue? All the comedians you like are great. I think you will enjoy my suggestions. You probably have seen but just incase
@@indigomontoya1970 hey, yeah, I know all those comedians. I know that a lot of comedians are fans of Herberg, including Stanhope etc but I never really got into him. I like some of the work of the other guys alright but they wouldn’t be in my top 10 though.
Maybe I’m in the minority, but I preferred the first hour and seven minutes. Damn! Actually thought we might see some bonus features. Thanks for posting, though. Was always a big fan of Greg; don’t think I missed any of his appearances on tough crowd.
Fabulous comic, but you could tell he wrestled with his personal demons. My impression is that making people laugh was cathartic for him. I've heard he was his own harshest critic. Even he didn't realize how talented he was, anyone who ever saw him knew it though
I think we’re he talks about the lung capacity of Michael Phelps and that you should not share your weed with him is my favorite joke of the whole show! The guy sleeping was the best spontaneous moments.
I started getting a funny feeling when I realized how good he is for a comedian I have never heard of before. Ended up reading all about his life. RIP to another legend. I hope I can have as much of a legacy someday
You should watch all his roasts to see what Greg was made of. He was so much more than a roast comedian, but he became famous for those because of his razor sharp intellect and incredibly witty remarks. Greg was a cut above the rest and had so much more talent than most other comedians. But sadly he was not destined for fame and fortune and his life tragically ended way too soon.
@@Shane-5150 honestly without that drugs I think he would have put out a lot more material. It's not like musicians doing shrooms or smoking weed and maybe that inspires their creative side. Greg was just doing hard core drugs and drinking and partying . I get it , I'm just saying it's not like he woke up after a week binge of crack and booze and had a notebook full of killer jokes I do agree the part of him that drew him to that lifestyle is the same part that would have never been happy being a doctor. It's just kind of ironic I guess that the same thing that drew him into comedy prevented him from reaching his potential.
Or they took them so they can bring in NWO. Your free, as long as you pay ur land tax EVERY year, btw ur not ALLOWED to do drugs 2, we need crime to go up so we can make more laws
Haha i passed out watching this legend, device turned off right before the dvd menu of this upload. Saved me some data. But shit, was hoping this was that long. Haha. Been a while, glad i came across this video, almost forgot about him. Ahh the years before everyone turned into giant pssies..
Greg Giraldo was razor sharp, and the quickest and funniest comedian on Tough Crowd. His stand up act always killed, and he decimated at the roasts. When I heard of his untimely death, I remember thinking, "Why couldn't it have been Nick Di Paolo?"
Barbecuing on the shoulder of the Cross Bronx Expressway. I have never seen that, but would like to. You're stuck in traffic and this guy is bringing you food in the middle of the highway. The only way it could be better is if there actually wasn't traffic.
So glad to see this again! Greg was a brilliant mind! Extremely intelligent and hilarious too! He loved political humor and would have had a field day during the Trump years!!
Not the way you think. He would have stood up for some of the things Trump did and made fun of his ego. G.G. payed attention to geo politics. Most of the Trump haters have no clue how the rest of world works. He would have crushed Biden though.

Hard to believe he's been gone for 12 years. 😢
really? I didnt even know he was sick
same with Patrice.
@@rickrick3129reminds me of that tragedy
Discovered him and The Comedy Cellar on the same night during my bachelor party in 2004. R.I.P., genius.
This guy was the most brilliant comedian after George Carlin. You can hear how HIGHLY intelligent he was. I wish he was still with us. RIP Greg
One of the best comedians ever
One of the most underrated Legends of all time! Way too short lived, we love you brother still one of the best of all time!

Thank you for your comment.
Exactly. Executive Counsel for Jeff Ross. 😆
Hands down the greatest, by a mile
For sure

They're not as good cold.

Same.

Hour and forty of DVD menu. Sweet.
That incident with the black audience guy sleeping has to be one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a live stand up
@The Marquis De Quigley LOL Most Definitely
And the taking and breaking of coral bit that followed. My god you couldn’t have scripted the way that scenario played out
Greg at his funniest. Totally unscripted and unplanned for.
Laughed so hard I literally cried 😂
I miss Greg, funny, smart man R.I.P. brother!
Carlin, Hicks, Geraldo, stunningly clear observers of our world just gone way to soon
this and chapelle in san fran. The 2 best stand up shows ever made in life.

This guy was hilarious at the roasts

I'd add George Carlin but everyone else I agree with
He was amazing.

My man literally ignored the fbi warning and committed a federal crime for all of us to see and uploaded it to the internet

"Crack addled praying mantis" pure gold.
One of the funniest and intelligent comics along with Paul Mooney. 💞
to this day i say SnAAaAacks like giraldo
I saw him at Helium in Philly before he died. He killed!
Thanks for fast-forwarding through Jim Gaffigan
Greg was brilliant!
He was fuckin great, man. This special or set, would've been mind blowing to have been there. Coz he was fuckin on fire, here.
Hell of a set.

Nearly 3 hours long! Greg could've honed his show to a tight one hour if only he could've cut the DVD homescreen part of his performance.
So sad this was his first big special that crushed and he died the sane year.
