Subject: Seinfeld Finale Star, John Pinette Gone at 50 Years Old

Written By: LyricBoy on 04/06/14 at 5:51 pm

Legendary standup comedian John Pinette passed away at the Sheraton Station Square hotel in Picksburgh, PA today at 2:30PM.

Amongst his many standup routines, he is also known for his role in the Seinfeld finale.  John was the guy who was carjacked; Jerry-Elaine-Cosmo-George all made fun of him while he was being assaulted and they ended up in jail as a result.  ;D

I don't think that was me.  I had no plans to see him live.  George Carlin ruined me for most stand ups.  Although, had I been able to afford it, I would have gone to Cosby.

That was me!  We just saw him a few months ago - surprised my daughter with the tickets.  I am so heartbroken  :\'(

Wow I just realized the odd coincidence this week.

Character actor James Rebhorn played the prosecutor in the Seinfeld Finale, and now the actor who Played the victim is also gone.

RIP to both James and John.  They can now go to that Seinfeld episode in the sky with Ian Ambercrombie (Mr. Pitt), Len Lesser (Uncle Leo), and Barney Martin (Seinfeld's Dad), Frances Bay (The Marble Rye Lady) and Ruthie Cohen (Cashier at Monk's Café).  :)

My Father and I loved the bit where he was talking about Chinese food. R.I.P to a very hilarious comedian. :\'(

My favorite bit is from his stand up special I'm Starvin, where he talks about Italian food.

I cry like a baby laughing. This was one of my favorite specials to watch in my younger years.
