Bernie Mac, One of the Last Kings of Comedy, is Dead
Rumors of Bernie Mac's death have been swirling around and I am sorry to say that I can't make this stuff up. Bernie Mac was a legendary comedian that brought a smile on my face especially when I would watch the Bernie Mac Show and see some of the same things that I often did throughout my day with my children. Bernie Mac had also played in the famous Ocean's Eleven with stars like Brad Pitt and George Clooney.
Just recently Bernie Mac was heckled during a surprise appearance that was broadcast all over the news time and time again. During the broadcast he made a special appearance for the July fundraiser for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama. Bernie Mac was suppose to get up on stage and do a skit but towards the end of the skit he ended up making his jokes turn towards menopause, sexual infidelity, and used occasional crude language. The stand up performance ended up making him become rebuked from the Obama campaign as reported by AP and nearly every television news show.
Bernie Mac had also played a small role in Spike Lee's Get on the Bus and will always be remembered as one of the original Kings of Comedy.
Bernie Mac's death is more of a shock than anything since rumors were going around that he was doing well and other saying that he was in critical condition. No one really knew what to expect and my heart is broken to see another person die. Some might say that Bernie Mac's death isn't the end of a great comedy legend and that there will be another Bernie Mac waiting in the midst just waiting to do standup comedy.
