Anderson died at a hospital in Las Vegas of complications from cancer, said Glenn Schwartz, his longtime publicist. Anderson had a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, Schwartz said previously.

3. Glenn Beck

Anyone have a status on Glenn Beck?

Okay, I shouldn't be cheering. My friend's sister - who is vaxxed and boosted - is currently in the hospital on a ventilator, and probably won't make it. She's disabled and medically vulnerable. My friend thinks that she got it at the hospital when she was taken into the ER for something else. BTW, my friend also tested positive following her sister's exposure.

5. This is getting hard to take.

Every day it seems, death is smacking us in the face. I know it’s “ask not for whom the bell tolls,” but still.

IIRC, Anderson had an abusive childhood and developed humor as a way to cope with it, and he always made the point that the line between despair and comedy was a thin one.

RIP.
