That's a shame.

I thought Kevin Meaney was hilarious when he first became nationally famous. But his humor was off-beat and he never became as successful as a lot of other comedians that I thought he was funnier than. I also could tell that like a lot of comedians he was was a messed up guy and probably had a sad personal life.
