Comedian Patrice O’Neal Suffers Stroke

Actor and comedian Patrice O’Neal, 41, suffered a stroke last week. Fellow comic Jim Norton said yesterday, “We don’t know how he is. We don’t know how he’s going to be. I didn’t want to do this by myself. I wish we had more news for you.” O’Neal was recently featured on a Comedy Central roast of friend Charlie Sheen. Sheen released a statement calling O’Neal “a gentle giant, a brilliant comedian, and a noble dude.”
