Word on the street is that he has died. We got it in an email.
The same person who emailed us just emailed us back to say that it’s not true and that he was bored.
This same douchebag also cc’ed about 200 or 300 comedians with the news that Walsh had died. (We haven’t seen that many email addresses since people learned how to bcc.)
CORRECTION: The person who emailed us the second time (see above) has contacted us (yet again) and clarified that it was not he who sent out the initial email that started the rumor. So… if we understand correctly, he (the person identified as the original emailer) is not the douchebag. It is, instead, a mysterious person who momentarily had access to the email account of the person who emailed us the second time. Got it? The first person who sent the email is the douchebag (the “bored one” who sent out the email). The person who followed up was merely trying to clear things up (and is not the douchebag, but the owner of the email account and mailing list upon which the douchebag sent out the first email). For further clarification, (or, for some, to be thoroughly confused) see the comments on this posting.
