RIP "Bernie Mac" McCullough

T

The King Bee

:'( :eek:
I'm very, VERY sad to inform the board that famed comedian "Bernie Mac," 50, nee Bernard McCullough, has passed away at Northwestern Univ. Hospital in the Chicago area. He died this morning at around 6 am (EDT) from complications of pneumonia and the auto-immune condition sarcidosis.
 
Bernie Mac was not only one of those "only in chicago" originals, but somebody everybody could relate to and laugh with across the county and world. I spent yesterday afternoon browing youtube for his comedy routines and I was between both tears of sadness and happiness with all the laughter it brought. He was a comics comic, he understood that telling stories was the key to keep the audience laughing. One thing bernie never did was paint himself into a schtick corner when it came to his material, always chose a broad spectrum when it came to telling stories about family life and social issues, never talking above or under his audiences. Sure, he worked blue, but like fellow departed comic George Carlin, he used it like a brush painting a great masterpiece. I hope all comedians, of all races, take some lessons from Mac when it comes to using the art of storytelling.
 
I only seen a few episode of Bernie Mac nor I didn't watch his show that much,
however, just I feel real sad that he had passed on. Also he died at a young age.

WE MISS YOU "BERNIE"!!!!....
