Greg Giraldo died on this date 5 years ago and while I was not close with him, I did pitch and write this bit for his show Stand Up Nation with Greg Giraldo. The pitch I wrote was a paragraph of about 5-7 sentences, Greg made all the jokes you see in here and is the reason its funny. He was a great, great comic. I worked on his show as a contributing writer and got to hang out in his offices for some tapings and a couple of late nights on nights before tape-days. In the time I was around him in the office he was a very cool guy and just really, really funny. Not really knowing him, I still definitely miss the guy and am very proud to have been able to write something he did. Man, he was funny.
