Bernie Mac,1957-2008

By Eric Robinette | Saturday, August 9, 2008, 10:14 PM

I cannot claim to have been a particular follower of Bernie Mac’s, especially since he gained more fame in TV than in movies, but I can say that he was always someone I was glad to see on the big screen, whether it was in Bad Santa, the Oceans franchise, or especially, his routine in The Original Kings of Comedy. And it makes me sad that I won’t get to see him in something new. I was especially disheartened to read that complications from pneumonia took him. We lost Jim Henson in a similar way. George Clooney put it best: “The world just got a little less funny.”

Amen.
