A comedian who performed at the AVN show and was a frequent guest on the Howard Stern show was killed in a car accident. Robert Schimmel, 60, was riding in the car driven by his 19 year old daughter, when she swerved to avoid another car and her vehicle rolled.
His daughter will recover and his 11 year old son who was also a passenger was unharmed.
You can hear his comedy on his website http://robertschimmel.com/ Eerily he talks about a recent heart attack and his wife asking him not to die. Robert also survived a bout with cancer and wrote a book about it.
We send our condolences to his family.
Schimmel was a funny guy, his family life would have made a great sitcom.
Robert was one of the funniest men in the world. He will be missed.
I know this dude–very positive and very funny. He survived cancer only to be killed like this. Makes you think about life…
Robert was a brilliant comedian. Just saw him this week end in a documentary. He will be missed.
Rob was a great comedian. And made me laugh tons of time. R.I.P.
