[h=1]Comedian John Pinette found dead in Pittsburgh hotel room at age 50[/h]
1:25am EDT
(Reuters) - John Pinette, a stand-up comedian who guest-starred as the victim of a carjacking in the final episode of the comedy show Seinfeld, has died at age 50, an official said on Sunday.
Pinette was found dead inside a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, hotel room on Saturday, an official with the Allegheny County Medical Examiner's Office said.
Pinette died from natural causes and was discovered by family members, the official said.
A native of Boston, Pinette was known for making jokes about his weight during his stand-up performances whose titles included "I'm Starvin'!" and "Show Me the Buffet." In 2011, his "Still Hungry" special premiered on Comedy Central.
Pinette also appeared in movies like "Junior," "The Punisher" and "Dear God."
In the final episode of Seinfeld, Pinette portrayed an overweight man who gets carjacked at gunpoint. The show's stars stand by and watch the incident and make fun of the man's weight before they are arrested by a police officer for violating the "Good Samaritan Law."
The medical examiner's official said Pinette was in Pittsburgh to attend a wedding.

May he Rest in Peace, they will be laughing wherever he ends up
For me, it depends on what kind of comedy we are talking about. For being able to tell a funny story on stage, Richard Pryor was the funniest for me. For improvisation, Robin Williams has to be considered the best. He could make shit up on the spot better than anybody. Carson was great at it too. The best political comedian that I've heard was Bill Hicks. He was a genius at it.

I dont usually like watching comedy videos because live is so much funnier. But i was in tears as was the 20,000 other people that were there. Great atmosphere.
