Comedian Todd Lynn dies
Lynn, who was an outspoken comedian, had reportedly suffered from diabetes and battled pancreatic cancer.
He was reportedly in his 40s.
Comedy Career
Lynn has done many works under his belt including BET’s Comicview, P Diddy’s Bad Boy’s of Comedy, Comedy Central Series, My Wife and Kids, Conan Obrien Show, and the Late Show with David Letterman.
He gained notoriety as the radio co-host who was fired from HOT 97 for the infamous “Tsunami Song” and as the toughest critic of the New York stand-up comedy scene.
Just For Laughs Festival
Lynn, who had survived heart and kidney failures last February, made a comeback returning to Montreal’s Just For Laughs Festival last summer with noteworthy performances that led to television opportunities to appear on new shows such as Russell Simmons Presents The Ruckus. He had reportedly turned down the offers to focus on preparing for his first half-hour HBO comedy special, pending a clean bill of health.
“He had been reaching out to a lot of people and was changing for the better,” Paul tells Laughspin. “He always knew how some other people felt about him.” Although his health wasn’t entirely strong the last few years, Lynn had been amping up his comedic output, even developing a strong buzz within the industry at last summer’s Just For Laughs comedy festival in Montreal. “He was great,” Paul Mooney continues. “He was a really smart and warm guy. But a lot of people didn’t get to know him.” Lynn even had a PhD in Literature.
Lynn was reportedly living in Mississippi with his family.
