I’ve told this story a few times already but I’ll share it again. My dad met John in Vegas. John was shooting Craps and my dad came up to him and said “I’m a big fan. I just wanted to say thanks for all of the laughs and keep up the good work.” John asked my dad if he wanted an autograph or a picture and my dad said “Oh nay nay.” John then gave my dad a hug.

I first heard him 5 years ago as I was driving across country. I can’t tell you how many times I had to stop the car because I was laughing so hard the tears were flowing. RIP brother.

I loved how it took the audience a minute to think about him in a Speedo.

I had the great fortune to see him live years ago. First time I ever heard him drop the F bomb was live. He was so clean and so hilarious, such a shame we lost his amazing talent for making people laugh.

“I’m gonna need Percocets in a Pez dispenser”. BAHAHAHAHAHA

Every time I need to laugh I find one oF John's videos. It never fails. Rest in Peace John and thank you.

Many years ago my brother had tickets to see John and was not able to attend the performance due to a sudden tragedy involving the loss of a close friend. One of my brother's friends was able to convey the details of the situation and John called my brother to offer condolences. Many years later I was able to thank him at a performance in my home town. I really miss this caring, talented human being. Belly laughs are the best!

A true original comic, So hysterically funny, thank you John. You are loved and missed terribly.💜🧡🦋

I still remember quite vividly the first time I saw this performance on TV. I was flipping stations in the middle of night, as I was having trouble sleeping. Must have been around 3 or 4 in the morning. I came upon this by total accident, and my God, I nearly fell off the bed from laughter. One of the greatest stand-up performances I have ever seen. Totally and utterly hilarious. Brilliant!

I love when clerks ask for my phone number....."NO"......and I think of John every time. What a comic genius.

John Pinette was a highly skilled stand up comedians. One of the very best I've ever had the pleasure to watch. Thanks for all the laughs John. R.I.P.

They don't make 'em like they used to. I can't tell you how many times I've seen his sketches, memorized them word for word, and still I laugh every single time. He truly lived his calling and I'm grateful he still blesses me today by putting a smile on my face. I needed that today.

There are four comedians that never fail to make me laugh. George Carlin, Ron White, Robin Williams, and John Pinette. They all are quick of mind and see the humour in their lives as they go along. I try to see the humour in my occasional stupidity and it always makes my day better.

He really worked so hard for years to lose weight, and he was wildly successful. His last interview was with a husband and wife who have a radio talk show in, I believe, L.A. it was probably a week or so before he passed away. Even THEY didn't recognize him, he had done such a great job losing weight. Next thing we all knew, John was gone. 😔 After one of his performances here in Cleveland, as he was walking past, I said, "John, thank you." He was still walking by, but he looked over his shoulder, and I said, "sincerely." He turned around and said, "Thank you." A lot of comedians are kinda similar to each other. The great ones are unique, and always will be. John was a great comedian. 😔

I take a break between watching these videos, but I always return. The pause between viewings allows my mind time enough to pick up on lines that weren't there before. That is the brilliance of this wonderful, master comedian with a fabulous singing voice, I turn to John when I feel like crying and he never lets me down. RIP, John Pinette.

Just another voice saying we miss you John. I first saw you in Hairspray the Musical (on Broadway), and then you did a question and answer session with us after the performance. Your warmth, your wit, your wonder, all shown bright that day; and continue to brighten my days years after. Thank you.

On April 5, 2014 the world - and for sure the comedy world - lost a great talent in making us laugh and love him for his point of view and his wins and shortcomings. You could tell that he was, in real life, a sweetheart of a man and so funny to boot -- a winning combination. A pulmonary embolism took him away.
