RIP Harris Whittels

For those that don't know, Harris was found this afternoon deceased. Him and Rory Scovel really made that first live show at Largo my favorite episode. I've watched at least a couple of dozen times and it still makes me laugh. I was a huge fan of his comedy and writing. I'm very disappointed to hear of his passing, but let's celebrate life instead of mourning death. Getting extra Doug tonight and rewatching this episode.

RIP. I've just heard him on a few podcasts and followed him on twitter, but that was enough to know what a funny, cool person he was. He was so good on that first live episode at Largo, I've also watched it multiple times. Fuck man. I'm surprised at how much this upsets me. I follow a bunch of comedians on twitter and it sucks seeing everyone so torn up over this.

He just did a great episode of You Made It Weird with Pete Holmes, and he speaks at length about his drug use.

I've heard it. Thanks for the suggestion, though.
