I was shocked to hear that comedic actor Bernie Mac (of his self-titled Fox sitcom) has died at the age of fifty. He was also in the recent Charlie's Angels films:

http://www.inthe00s.com/smile/04/eek2.gif I had no idea he suffered from sarcoidosis.

This was a shock when I heard it this morning :\'( He was a great talent RIP Bernie :\'(

Ohhhhh Maaaaaan! This sucks!  I loved his show, I liked his stand up, he could be a bit much sometimes, but he was a comedian.  This is just not right...    :\'(

This is a super shock.  I really liked him in 'Guess Who' and 'Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle'

He was a great comedian.  R.I.P. :\'(

WTF?  This is impossible!  They were just talking about how he was going to be released in a few weeks!

Oh sweet Lord.... :\'(

I read this morning that he was sick.  five  hours later he's dead.
wow.

How shocking!  How very sad!!!  :\'(  :\'(  :\'(

This is hard to absorb.  Such a terrible loss.  He will be missed.

I was so shocked to read this. I really thought he was so funny. I loved his show on Fox He will be missed :\'(

I can't ever recall watching his show or hearing his routine but when I heard about this, I was in shock. My condolences to his family & friends.

I heard this news on the radio about 30 minutes into BBC Radio 1's Request Show with Reggie Yates. As soon as I heard that Bernie Mac had starred in 'Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle' (one of my favourite movies), I knew who he was. I'll never forget his mention in Christina Aguilera's 'Dirrty.'

RIP Bernie. You made a brilliant boss for the Angels in 'Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle.'  :\'(

Aw I really liked Bernie Mac.  He will be missed in my house. I think I'll go home and pop in season one of the B. Mac show in tribute.

His death was very schocking. So young... :-\\

This was a total shock to me, and tears came to my eyes as I read the article.
I thought Bernie was such a cool guy, so funny just being interviewed by Jay or Conan, because his stories were laughable, but very relatable. My favorite of Bernie's work was certainly the Ocean's movies, and I was disappointed when George stated the series was finished. Now I don't think I would want to see any more made without Frank/Ramone.

Losing George Carlin was bad enough, but Bernie... they may say Heaven got funnier, but Earth is just that much more sad without him.

Your Pal,
Doc
:\'(

What a horrible way to wake up, hearing this news.  Quite the shocker. 

Rest in peace, Bernie.  You will be missed.

I first saw him in "Don't Be A Menace..." and most recently in "Transformers". Always liked his movie acting. He'll be missed.

Very sad shocking news, RIP.  :\'(

:\'( This sux  :\'(

Bernie was the Mac Daddy of hip comedians.  At least he went out in style, what with his show at the Obama rally a month or so ago.  You always got your money's worth at a Mac show.

RIP Bernie... You did it right...  :)

Bernie Mac was always one of the people who you could relate to, you knew where he came from and his stories and comedy was that much funnier because of that.

Sad day, anytime we lose someone that can make us laugh, we lose so much more than just a comedian...

Rest in peace Bernie. :\'(

RIP Bernie, he will be missed. :\'(

Only 50 years old? That's just awful. :-here.

Bernie Mac was still young. I enjoyed him as a Baseball player headed for the Hall Of Fame in the movie Mr 3000 but I really loved his stand up comedy routines, he made me laugh and I will miss him  :(

^  never did see Mr. 3000, but always wanted to.  Think I'll head to the video store and pick up a copy


I heard a rumor there was going to be a Ocean's 14, but without Bernie Mac, it wouldn't be the same. 

I've always been a big fan...it's just so sad and like everyone else said, so shocking.  He left us way too early.  :\'(

Very sad news!  :\'(

RIP, Bernie...

At least he did get to see his favorite team win the World Series.

RIP Bernie Mac. A talented man we lost too soon.  :\'(  :\'(

Here's a recent picture of Bernie Mac and Issac Hayes together... seems kind of strange, even though there's nothing that odd about it (they were both in the new Soul Movie)

I wasn't a fan of his show, but he's amazing! I was shocked when I found out he died. I love you, Bernie!

Yesterday as we were driving to Indiana, we had to stop in traffic near 115th street.  The traffic was due to everyone going to the memorial for Bernie Mac at the House of Hope megachurch on the South Side.  It was PACKED.  I later learned that there was a little over 6000 people there.  I was going to brave the crowds and go (it was open to the public and his fans), but thought better of it.

As we were coming back from Indiana, the traffic was backed up on the other side and the cops had a lot of exits blocked so that the family could leave.  We were behind their limo (this was on the interstate) for a bit, but I'm glad they were able to leave quickly and head to wherever they were going, poor dears. :\'(

(it was open to the public and his fans),




for some reason this struck me as funny....as though the two were mutually exclusive.  ;D


carry on...
