  1. Although it appears otherwise, I hope he hasn’t relapsed but I guess the alternative isn’t too pretty either… Greg Giraldo is an extremely underrated legend of modern comedy – I hope he makes a speedy recovery.

    In his credits, don’t forget his Top 5 Aus single – Underwear Goes Inside the Pants… 🙂
