Bernie Mac Is Alive, Recovering From Pneumonia

August 4th, 2008

Rumors of the comedian’s death shock and frighten fans.

Bernie Mac
Both Bernie Mac’s publicist and his wife are refuting rumors that the popular comedian died this past weekend. Mac was hospitalized and recovering from pneumonia late last week, publicist Danica Smith told The Chicago Sun-Times. By Saturday, fans in Mac’s native Chicago and those browsing Web sites throughout the country were expressing sadness and posting tributes to the “late” Kings of Comedy alum. It appears that a hoax involving calls to various TV newsrooms led to the scare and caused at least one Chicago network affiliate to scroll the news across the screens of its viewers’ sets at home. “It is a very horrible rumor,” Smith says. “It is absolutely untrue.” Mac’s condition was, in fact, improving, Smith adds: “He’s doing great and hopes to get out soon. He’s Bernie – he’s one of the best guys you’ll meet.” Mac’s wife Rhonda McCullough has been with him at the hospital. Read the latest on Bernie Mac at BET Entertainment Spotlight.

I would like to give my deepest condolences to the family and friends of Bernie Mac. I would also like for the family to know I have never spent money on a concert until I heard the Kings OF Comedy was coming to Cleveland. I laughed at Bernie’s Jokes so hard I cried the whole night. If I knew there was something I could have done to help I would have. I love him and will miss him. However, His jokes will never get old to me I will continue to support him and his family until god calls me home. God bless you all

To the Mack Family,

I truly am sadden by your (our) sudden lost. Bernie was a man not knowing how he made me feel when I was down and out at times. I just watch the Bernie Mack show and it truly lift my spirits. Sometimes he would have my stomach hurting. I would say he is a fool (no harm intended). Truly he will be missed. Hold on to God’s love through your time of beareavement. I will pray that God will give you peace. I know his sister’s children will miss him as well. When you (wife) and him took on that role, you all did a hell of thing for those children. You both should and are commended by alot of people. May peace and love hold you all together.

in this life , we all know there is a time for celebration of our homegoing, to be with the father in his kingdom. the catch is, not knowing . it can be heart wrenching if you don’t know the lord, and being of mankind, even if you do. bernie mac has always been one of my favorite comedians. through the course of his career, he like many other entertainers have become a part of my family in a sense. my heart goes out to his family and loved ones, but keep in mind, the father is sending for his angels to return to him to rock them in his bosom. he’ll always be there in spirt, heart and watching over you. god bless

melissa miller Said on

When i first heard the news of Bernie Mac’s passing my eyes filled with tears. Although i had never met him i felt like a part of me and a family memeber has passed. I am so sad, he was one of my favorite comedians. I loved him in the kings of comedy and i saw the show both times when they came to cincinnati oh. He will be truly missed. R.I.P bernie. Who will @#$% up th kids now?



Penny McDonald Said on

I am truly sorry that Bernie passed, he had a warmth and humbleness that was real and my heart is heavy for his family and those who were close to him.
I hope that he knew the Lord and is resting with him at this very moment



THE BAZIL FAMILY IN DELAWARE Said on

Dear Rhonda, we are very sorry for your loss, we don’t know Bernie in person but we watch all of his shows, we feel your pain and just know he is in a better place we all love him so much and he will be terrible missed. Rest In Peace Bernie.



Freda Said on

This is the very first star whose death seamed so real to me. I loved Bernie Mac, or as many of us referred to him as, “The Mac Man”. He wasn’t just funny, he was real. You know, not like those other Hollywood artificially created stars. He spoke to me. Whenever I saw him on TV he never seemed like he thought he was more than the next person. To Rhonda and to his daughter and granddaughter, I am truly saddened by your loss and your family is in my sincerest prayers. If he meant so much to us that only knew his character, I can only image what he meant to you.

Stay close to God,

Freda
