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.

NO comedian ever has tickled me like you bernie. You are the reason I watch comedians today. I thank god for the experince. You are the best in my book. Your absence saddens me so much, but I truly believe you did what the lord would have you doing, making others laugh and now he needs you home. God bless and comfort your family and I will miss you dearly. I hope to see you later. Knock em dead up there.

Bernie Mac was a true inspiring actor and comedian. He was very loved and never will be forgotten. Personally he was one of the funniest people with a very big sense of humor towards life and all its crazy obstacles. He always knew how to put a smile on everyones face even if it was a stupid joke. He will be remembered and always loved. God knew he was going to get a very special person up there so he had to go. We love u BERNIE MAC!!!! You are THE MAN AND ALWAYS WILL BE…………….LOVE U!!!!!!!!!

It is with great sadness that I write this message but I know that Bernie Mac left us all with a message to live by….and that is to live your dream and your best life while you still have time. He was a natural…his ability to grace a stage made us all better as we were able to laugh and forget some of our own problems for a brief period of time. May his light continue to shine and I pray God’s peace will comfort his amily especially his wife, daughter and grandchild.

Blessings and love
