R.I.P. Patrice O'Neal: Ricky Gervais, Dane Cook and More Offer Twitter Tributes to "Brilliant" Comedian
If you like to laugh, you're going to miss Patrice O'Neal. And his fellow comedians may miss him even more.
"One of my favourite stand up comedians. So sad. RIP," Ricky Gervais tweeted Tuesday upon hearing of O'Neal's death at 41 due to complications of a stroke.
"Brilliant, unafraid, unapologetic. You inspired me and kept us all honest #RIPPatrice," wrote comedian Amy Schumer, who shared the dais with O'Neal at the Charlie Sheen roast in September.
Added Sarah Silverman: "RIP Patrice O'Neal. You made us laugh til we cried."
And the tributes kept pouring in from those who are far more used to punchlines...
What Are Nicole Richie, Ashton Kutcher, Olivia Wilde, Eva Longoria and More Tweetful For?!

Glee: Darren Criss and Katy Perry "Dream" Together!
It was the duet that was bound to happen.
Glee star Darren Criss performed his megahit cover of "Teenage Dream" at last night's Trevor Live benefit for the Trevor Project.
But the big surprise came when…
Jon Stewart, Sarah Silverman, Chris Rock and Famous Friends Send Off Greg Giraldo
Greg Giraldo made his bones cracking people up. But his death has left some of the funniest folks on the planet "horribly sad."
The Last Comic Standing host was laid to rest today in the Hamptons, in a private family ceremony. But for the past two nights, Giraldo was saluted by an all-star collection of comics, including Chris Rock, Sarah Silverman and Jon Stewart.
Toronto Notebook: Sarah Silverman Wants to Erase the Last 12 Seconds
With a strong cast—including Michael C. Hall, Sarah Silverman and Rainn Wilson—director Barry Blaustein's Peep World is one of the more eclectic comedies at the Toronto Film Festival this week.
So I asked stand-up Silverman is if she felt a little out of her element among so many, ahem, actors:
How Many Bodyguards Does It Take to Protect Lady Gaga?
Lady Gaga must know how much she's pissed off some of her fellow New Yorkers recently with her baseball game antics.
How else can you explain the rather large security detail around her last night in NYC…
Sarah Silverman Has Been Deprogrammed
She used to be f--king Matt Damon. Now she's just f--ked.
Or at least her TV show is, as Comedy Central has decided not to renew The Sarah Silverman Program for a fourth season.
No reason was given, but the cable net didn't exactly help the show when, halfway through its (apparently) last season, it pushed the show's time slot from prime time to midnight.
Matt Damon Gets Honored Roasted
Matt Damon may have been honored last night with the American Cinematheque Award, but the tribute was more of a roast than anything else.
Charlize Theron got into the blame game, faulting Damon for one of Will Smith's few failures…
"In 2000 Matt and I starred in The Legend of Bagger Vance along with Will Smith, the only Will Smith movie that didn't make like a gagillion, million dollars," Theron said. "I reunited with Will in Hancock, which did great. So I guess it's you, Matt."
And she didn't stop there.
"That's not the only thing Matt and I have in common," Theron continued. "We're both Academy Award winners. Of course, I won mine in a real category and Matt's was just for typing up [Ben] Affleck's thoughts."
Affleck cracked that Damon recently called his father to tell him he finally snagged the role he's been waiting to do since he was a kid...
