Damn shame.  I met him at a hotel bar in Milwaukee once (I guess he was there filming the baseball movie he was in).  Real nice.  I saw him on that comedy special with three other black comedians and he absolutely was the king of the show.

Imagine my shock when I went online to look up Olympics stuff, and Yahoo'd reported 1 minute prior that Bernie Mac had died. He had some crazy comedy... damn shame for him to go.

Always.  Never, in the history of mankind, has any two people died and not be followed by a third person dying.

After speaking with my actuarial buddy, I think it will be an entertainer with an athletic background, as we've seen a comedian-actor in his early 50's go down first followed by a singer/songwriter-actor in his mid-60's, meaning the age might be a bigger crapshoot than trying to figure out the "who's next."   

{A quick check of Abe Vigoda's background indicated that he was not a famous athlete of any kind, so he will more than likely sit this one out}

Considering his new movie with Hayes and Mac, Samuel L. Jackson is probably got 911 on speed dial.
