Last Comic Standing’s Greg Giraldo hospitalized after overdose

[HMG Celebrity News] – Greg Giraldo, the popular comedian and judge on ‘Last Comic Standing’ was rushed to Robert Wood Johnson Hospital late Saturday night after reportedly overdosing on prescription pills. His condition is now listed as stable.

The 44-year old father of three who was due to perform earlier that day at ‘The New York Recovery Rally,’ to promote ‘Addiction Recovery Month.’ was found unresponsive during a party at his hotel in East Brunswick, New Jersey.

“It was like a zoo here,” an eyewitness said of the scene.

Paramedics were immediately summoned and managed to revive Greg, then transported him to the hospital for further intervention and tests.

“It was an accidental overdose, and he is in critical condition,” a rep for Greg’s management told the Post.

A graduate of Harvard law school and a recovering alcoholic since 2005, Greg had been staying at the hotel during a four-night gig at ‘The Stress Factory’ in New Brunswick. His final show was last night but he never arrived.

As soon as news of his hospital stay broke, fans swarmed to his Facebook page to get information and offer support.

“We were at the show,” one fan wrote. “No information. Just that he canceled and was rushed to Robert Wood hospital.”

Other fans showed concern mixed with humor “Don’t be so hip,” wrote one. “Just because Lindsay and Paris are doing it. Get better and make us laugh for another 30 years.”

Greg’s initial condition was listed as ‘critical,’ but he is now breathing unaided and doctors are pleased with his progress.
