RIP, man.

One of the greats...

He will be missed.

Wow, 2005 was a bad year for entertainers.

Did this just happen?

I honestly thought he died a while ago.

Ya, CNN slapped in a Larry King tape overnight. Heart attack at 65.

Damn he was funny.

Well this just bums the heck out of me. For my money, his word-association sketch with Chevy Chase on SNL was one of the funniest things I've ever seen (at least on SNL). "Dead honky!"

A great loss for comedy.

They played it in his honour last night on SNL's "Weekend Update."

Had not heard.

One of the funniest people ever. Sad to hear.
