That's what Howard Stern is saying, but info is sketchy. Doesn't seem like a hoax, though. :( Craig Gas and a high profile comedy manager are saying it's true.
 
:( Hope not. Howard's site says so as well.

"I hate turtle necks. I have such a weak neck. Plus if you wear a turtle neck it's like being strangled by a really weak guy... all day. And if you wear a turtle neck and a back pack it's like a weak midget trying to bring you down"

"I got my hair highlighted, because I felt some strands were more important than others."

"I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it"
 
f*ck I hope not Mitch Hedberg is my favorite comedian to listen to on XM Comedy 150...

Nothing on his(Mitch's) website or on a quick news search...
 
I can't find anything in the news, either. This better not be a prank. Or maybe I hope it is.

Mitch Hedberg - Farewell to a Friend
The Howard Stern Show is saddened to learn that legendary comedian Mitch Hedberg has passed away. Mitch was just on the show two weeks ago...
 
Plus this news started circulating yesterday.

Mr. Pipp is just a cheap imitation of Dr. Pepper. Dude didn't even get his degree.
 
hope this isn't true...

I had an ant farm once. Those fuckers didn't grow shit.

...so I'll drive around 10 miles with the emergency brake on. That doesn't say a lot for me, but that really doesn't say a lot for the emergency brake. It's really not an emergency brake; its an emergency 'make the car smell funny' lever.
 
"Last week I helped my friend stay put. It's a lot easier than helping someone move. I just went over to his house and made sure that he did not start to load shit into a truck."

"I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside."

"This shirt is dry clean only. Which means...it's dirty. "

"My lucky number is four billion. That doesn't come in real handy when you're gambling. "Come on, four billion! Fuck. Seven. I need more dice."

"I used to do drugs. I still do drugs. But I used to, too."

"An escalator can never break: it can only become stairs. You would never see an "Escalator Temporarily Out Of Order" sign, just "Escalator Temporarily Stairs. Sorry for the convenience."

"I saw a human pyramid once. It was totally unnecessary."

"If you had a friend who was a tightrope walker, and you were walking down a sidewalk, and he fell, that would be completely unacceptible."
 
im reading that farewell to a friend thing on howardstern.com, and it's not saying anything about him dying.

i mean, granted, the headline explains a lot. but still.... makes ya wonder....

It's not even the headline anymore.. Tabitha's bleached rectum is... strange.
 
Hotels don't have a 13th floor because of superstition. Come on now. People on the 14th floor, you know what floor you're really on. If you jump out of a 14th floor window hoping to klll yourself, you will die earlier.
 
The "farewell to a friend" article is just a recap of his last Stern appearance. Google News has nothing either.

Click on Hot Topic Archive up top. It's the 3rd story down. For some reason, when you click on Full Story, it just brings up the summary for his appearance on Stern's show from two weeks ago... It now says:

March 31st, 2005: The Howard Stern Show is saddened to learn that legendary comedian Mitch Hedberg has allegedly passed away. Mitch was just on the show two weeks ago.......

Hmm.. now it says "allegedly"...



Oh, one of my favorite jokes:

"I had a bag of Fritos. They were Texas Grilled Fritos. These Fritos had grill marks on 'em. Hell yeah! It reminds me of summer, when we used to fire up the barbecue, and throw down on some Fritos. I can still see my dad with the apron on. "Better flip that Frito, Dad. You know how I like it!" With grill marks." :lol
 
All those quotes are hilarious..

I can't remember the exact quote of his one line, but he talked about all those extreme names for heavy metal bands and how they had to do with death and destruction and such.. and how he would call his "injured" because he's not that extreme.. :D
 
I had never heard of him before but some of the jokes posted are great. :lol

I hope he's not dead, his shit is hilarious.
 
Gotta be bogus. Aside from the zero info post on Howards site theres no news anywhere else reguarding this. I'm calling BS. Sounds like Howard got half a story.
 
Doug Stanhope is one of Mitch's friends... Doug's actually pretty damn funny too he's another one I like to listen to.

The rumors started last night on a few forums. I don't think Howard has anything to do with it, if it's a stupid April Fools joke. But we'll see.

the first post on this site is from comedian Doug Stanhope. But if it's a "joke", he could very well be in on it...



and also on an O&A board last night:

Haha, Doug Stanhope's an honest, decent person? "SHOW US WHERE BABIES FEED"

Jim Gaffigan better be alright.

Sweet I can't remember the names until other folks mention them... but Jim is funny too... that other voice he uses(I was listening to him on XM on the way home last night) always cracks me up.

There's a slightly retarted comedian that I hear on XM alot he's pretty funny too... can't remember his name.
 
FUCK. I never saw him live :(

My friend and I had to skip out on the last time he came to town.

Fuck.

He was brilliant
 
:(

"Sometimes I'll throw a potato in the oven even if I don't want want. By the time it's done, who knows"

I remember quoting him in high school :(
 
WTF. This sucks.

"They say the recipe for Sprite is lemon and lime, but I tried making it at home. There's more to it than that."

"They always say that this product is available for 4 easy payments of 14.95. I want a product that's available for 3 easy payments, and 1 fucking complicated payments. We're not gonna tell you which payment it is, but one of these is gonna be a bitch. The mailman will be shot to death, the envelope won't seal, and the stamps will be in the wrong denomination. Good luck fucker!"

"What does a Sesame seed grow into? We don't know, we never give it a chance. What the fuck is a Sesame?"
 
For now I would chill since Howard's april fool's joke last year was just as good. He duped the entire audience on april 1st by airing a fake discjockey team. What they thought was Howard finally got cancelled because of too many FCC fines and whatnot, since it was suggested he was gonna get the axe sooner or later.

Plus if you search on google, there aren't any related headlines

BUT if it IS true... well now that is a bummer

Nothing on his site. Maybe somebody in Baltimore could figure out if his next show isn't cancelled....
He missed his interviews with 98 rock and live 105.7's out to lunch show today... they think he's dead
