Richard Jeni 1957-2007

Comedian Richard Jeni 49-years young commited suicide on March 10th by gunshot to the head, I think it is important to recognize someone who felt ignored in his life, I don't like placing blame when it comes to suicide. He was a funny comedian. He was frequently a guest on The Tonight Show and Hollywood Squares. His last acting role was in a episode of "Everybody Hates Chris" called "Everybody Hates Rejection." He is perhaps best known for playing Jim Carrey's best friend in the film The Mask. He had three HBO Speicals. He was diagonised with clinic depression and psychotic paranoia.
