RonJonSurfer Posted April 7, 2014 Report Posted April 7, 2014 John Pinette was one of my favorite comedians. I'm confident that his serious weight issues, which were the butt of many of his own jokes, caused his early demise at age 50. His real 15 minutes of fame came in the final episode of Seinfeld where he plays the man that gets mugged and is not helped by Jerry and the gang. I think his stand up act was hilarious. Do yourself a favor and check him out on YouTube.
Rayzor Posted April 7, 2014 Report Posted April 7, 2014 I've watched everything he's done and followed his entire career. Funniest man ever! My fave right alongside Mitch Hedberg & Robin Williams. Hope I didn't jinx Williams as he's the only one left alive... RIP John! We'll keep laughing!
Uncle Joe Posted April 8, 2014 Report Posted April 8, 2014 The first bit I ever saw him do was the all-you-can-eat Chinese Restaurant. We still quote him to this day. RIP John
RonJonSurfer Posted April 8, 2014 Author Report Posted April 8, 2014 Same here UJ. We still quote that same bit too. I never learn my lesson. I wanted to go see him in person when he was local. Something always came up and we didn't go. I saw he was playing very local in May and now that's too late. enjoy living while we are all still alive...do the things you want to do.
Jenny Posted April 8, 2014 Report Posted April 8, 2014 "YOU GO NOW" Yep, I remember the all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet routine. RIP, John
