Search - Patrice O'Neal :: Unreleased

In 1969, Patrice O'Neal got his start in a uterus. O'Neal has also made occasional appearances on various Fox News shows like Hannity and Colmes to discuss issues regarding both race and censorship. But, of all the many television appearances to date, his favorite is Comedy Central's Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn. In addition, O'Neal's movie appearances include Head of State, In the Cut, 25th Hour, Furry Vengeance, and deleted scenes from Scary Movie 4 and When in Rome. With his dominance of television and film, the natural transition to radio was inevitable. O'Neal is a frequent guest on the popular Opie and Anthony radio show. In 2011 Patrice released his first hour Comedy Central stand-up comedy special ""Elephant in the Room"". It is with terrible sadness we must report that Patrice O'Neal passed away November 29th 2011 due to the complications of the stroke he suffered on October 19. Many of us have lost a close and loved friend; all of us have lost a true comic genius. His mother, who was also his best friend, was at his side. Patrice is survived by his wife, Vondecarlo; his step daughter Aymilyon, sister Zinder, and his mother Georgia. The family wishes to thank all of the fans and friends who have expressed an outpouring of love and support for Patrice these past weeks.
