News Segment about Sam Kinison's Accident (4/11/1992)

[66Supertrucker]

I'm so glad this not funny at all, fat piece of garbage is dead:)

[2323giggity]

R I P --- SAM

[majorgabe56]

how could someone do this to Sam a comedy legend! =_(

[hobbit151]

@arnoldsquashbuckles < I bet sam was set up to be murdered, I feel it now, something is not right at all about this..

[Satchel334]

So sad, we lost one of the comedic greats way too soon. Wish you were still with us Sam.

[rix66]

tragic shit. a million laughs we will never have.

[5jerry1]

I have a problem with these people talking about God wanting Kinison for himself. So Father God, who loves us, orchestrates and executes the equivalent of a Mafia hit? Injures and widows the woman who loved him? And lets the kid who did it basically walk away from it? All so He can have a laugh? This is a frightening mind-set. If there is a beyond, he probably went to a nicer plane of existence, but the idea of God taking him away via a drunk teen driver, does not gel with me at all.

[magx01]

@5jerry1

I agree 100 fucking percent. It's mind boggling, the lack of logic on display.

[Bluefirefoley]

Must've been an omen for getting married. MISS U SAM !!!!!

[GRLproductions71]

WAIT WOAH

KINISON GOT MARRIED AGAIN?

[Raventoll]

@audesemusic God has to love Sam Kinison because God has to have a sense of humor. Sam made more of us happy than any televangelist. He was still preaching, really. He just cut out the middleman and sold us the joy direct from the manufacturer.

[JG40061]

Sam, too bad the Trans Am you were driving didn't have Air Bags- in today's cars you might have made it -

[ebooklibrary27]

@JG40061 He was in a head on collision on the highway with a truck being driven by a drunk teenage driver... . People do not survive accidents of that severity. Nothing to learn from that, just plain tragic.

[GaryDoke]

@ebooklibrary27 The learning is don't drink and drive. It's always tragic.

[buttercremehonda]

So sad, so sad. Damn but doesn't it always happen to those who were truly ahead of their time. Somehow they die before their time. I love Sam, he will always the best for me.

[williamrafe1]

@buttercremehonda thats what i keep saying! why are the great and wise people always stricken from the earth before their time? be it sam, jesus, john lennon, or bob marley!i think that the world isnt ready for the good and the wise yet

[13AJJONES]

@williamrafe1 BECAUSE THEY ARE JUST REGULAR PEOPLE, BUT AFTER YOU LOSE THEM, THEY WERE SUDDENLY SAINTS.

EVEN JEBUZ WAS JUST A DUDE, UNTIL 1000 YEARS LATER SOMEONE WROTE A BOOK AND CALLED HIM THE SON OF GOD....HE NEVER CALLED HIMSELF, THE TRUE SON OF GOD, YA'LL DID .

SAVE ME JEBUZ !!

}8? )

[ElectricIndica420]

@13AJJONES uh, actually he DID call himself the son of God, that is why he was crucified for blasphemy.

[HeadBangerAust]

why must the good (and awesomely fat) comedians die in their 30s? the odd thing is that 4/11/1992 was the day I was born

[thesands49]

Right after he got married... guess Sam was right all along.

[nnniiiccckkk56]

He is in hell right Now that was hid dream. He us screaming at the devil is this the best u got Is this the best u fucking got I'm was married for 2 fucking years my life was a worst hell than this

[myhero4000]

@arnoldsquashbuckles illumiati?? really??...i dont think so

[straightedger9]

R.I.P. Sam

[inbetweentics]

@arnoldsquashbuckles

are you SERIOUS?

that fuckin 17 yr old drunk punk was BRAGGING about killing sam?

where was this?

[BENTLEYQUEMP]

does anyone know what happened to the bastard that killed him?

[KinisonisKing]

Sam Kinison was born in Yakima, Washington and soon after moved to Illinois. He grew up in and attended Peoria and East Peoria. I attended the same High School as Sam and still live in the same town. Sam's old home is now a car wash and there's not even a street, memorial, or even sign to let people know this is where he grew up. Sam is a legend who deserves a little more recognition especially from the place he called home.

[MrSafetymeeting]

@KinisonisKing You're so right. I'm from Peoria and never knew he lived there.

[RobertHolik]

It's funny how two of the biggest comics ever are both from Peoria, Illinois! I would have loved to be born there :D Richard Pryor and Sam Kinison rule!!!!

[drumology2001]

It seems like a lot of comedians *become* comedians because humor is the only way they can survive a rather brutal or difficult life. Maybe Peoria is a hell hole of despair and sadness!

(Disclaimer: If you're from Peoria and you're reading this, I don't *really* think your town is a hell hole full of despair and sadness...I'm just making a point. Please don't send me a mail bomb. Thanks!) ;)

[MrSafetymeeting]

@drumology2001 I'm from Peoria. You were right. Richard Pryor was born in Peoria too. It sucks and everybody wants to leave.

[OllyJollyOrange]

burning in hell baby! lol

[ortonfan166]

@OllyJollyOrange

Sam would appreciate that

[knowallcity]

His brother's version of Kinisons last words is only known to be true by him. It sounds a bit legendish. Actually to me-not believable..

[Kain0men]

A legend died that day, R.I.P. Sam, you deserve the best!

[OllyJollyOrange]

@Kain0men but he's getting tortured instead.

[OllyJollyOrange]

@Kain0men you mean a piece of crap

[JamesTKirkCobain]

It`s insane the amount of people killed in car crashes. I mean just off the top of my head, the celebs- Kinison, James Dean, George Patton, Steve Allen, Marc Bolan, Jackson Pollack, Billy Martin, Jane Mansfeild, Princess Di, Eddie Cochran, Harry Chapin, Lisa Lopes, Ernie Kovacs,

[rrrorkk]

@JamesTKirkCobain how many of them were high or drunk i wonder

[mikedeviant]

Wow. Sam Kinison died. Then three weeks later the Rodney King Riots happened and the political correctness era started. What a sad thing for us all. Sam will be missed.

[lucyboo0702]

38 years old...man i would like to think if he was still around , we wouldnt be up to KINISON OF LOVE on vh1lol r i p

[DEP717]

R.I.P. I remember when I heard it was like "no way." He left too soon.

[doowopbruce]

I remember that sad day. G-d bless you Sam.

[sidewalkpilot]

man, i teared up when i watched this.  such a loss.

[DELPHIIII]

Man howd u find this vid??

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

also i think sam's only alive brother is named Bill. sams other brother comitted suicide. I remember when sam died, his wife was on the news and stuff...

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

they tried to sell his socks with bolod drops and a lock of his hair on ebay. wish I saved the pictures. I saw him live in concert 1989. by the time of his death, he was trying to clean up. so that is why he has small traces in him WIKIPEDIA I also have a VHS and a DVD of 2 of Sam's last performances...also more details on FIND A DEATH

[golfprobro4eagles]

NO the guy was a wet back illegal mexican with no licence. Kiss my ass wetbacks

[CaramelMamiChula]

how did u know that 17 year old kid was mexican?

[shaycoiee]

did the wife die?

[DokkenCanes11]

She lived.

[kriccistarr]

she died as well

[indianajoe219]

Malika isn't dead

[Hounsfield]

This is what happens when you drink and drive. The guy that hit sam was drinking. artie lange was arrested for dui friday night. Not cool. artie is a retard

[evilotto91]

sam was on a bunch of shit too tho and he prolly did his scream b4 he got hit

[badderthanyou]

He wasn't 'on' a bunch of shit. He had minuscule traces in his body. Big difference.

[mrsir4]

Sam wasn't on anything, he quit doing drugs a year or so before the accident, get your facts straight

[evilotto91]

oh well andrew dice clay was better

[devidfrank]

no ,dice clay sucks...

[mikedeviant]

@devidfrank Yeah. I agree. Dice Clay is a counterfeit Fonz. He's always been shit.

[hobbit151]

@mikedeviant < Dice clay is the biggest joke in comedy ever, he is not even funny..

[meanmaddness]

@devidfrank Didn't he get beaten up a few times for his comments. Dice Clay was just a pig. Sam Kinison was like another George Carlin. The thing that was great about Sam was his screaming to stress his rants. He was awesome. Clay was a joke.

[lennymo36]

@meanmaddness clay could be ruthless at times, i love sam more but i wouldn't want to sit front row at clay's concerts

[Alexjmoll]

Oh shit!!

[IsHeDied]

Asshole.

[razorslide33]

you're an asshole

[asianwatcher]

I think you need to do a Google search and find out more about the eyewitness accounts of what happened at that accident scene.

[oldirtydoggie]

your god is a lie

[pantera9296]

yea man your a real prick man. keep it in the damn church.

[rationalmuscle]

Yeah, George Burns really got his, eh?

Loser.

[tedGEGI]

how errie that today,4/11/09, I click on this vid,watching beforehand all the posted Kennison vids----RIP Sam----AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHH

[TimberWolf212]

I remember when that accident happened! I was rolling down the hwy heading towards Vegas from Yuma AZ.

I heard someone on the CB radio mention that there was an accident that just happened, It happened a couple of miles behind me after I had rolled through where it had happened! As I was rolling through Nebraska the next day late afternoon. I heard on the FM radio that it was Sam's accident! Man I was shocked to hear that! He was one of the greatest!

[starsandstrikes212]

He once made Steve Dahl Chicago radio

legend laugh so hard he peed his pants.

I was listing to show at the time. Sam was a frequent quest on the Dahl show

[umasbob]

Best concert ever. I still keep the ticket stub. That weekend a friend and I was talking about the next time that we needed to see him. Then we was informed he just died. It was a bad dream.

[KinisonisKing]

This clip really disturbs me. First off Sam was born in Yakima Washington and was raised in East Peoria. Second it's amazing this clip is only 23 seconds long. 23 fucking seconds and the idiots couldn't even get his birthplace right. Why so little coverage about it? I understand it was on more news channels than this but I'm just sayin when Anna nicole died you couldn't watch tv for 5 minutes without hearing about it for like 2 years. Well just venting I really miss Sam.

[chockmah67]

isn't that the saddest thing Sam kinison used to bag out marriage & the terror it gave him & just when he thought stuff it, I will put on a happy face & start believing in life a again from my depressing cynical nihilistic ways some young bastard runs him over. & what was that about him reasoning with the grim reaper before reaper won the debate & kinison gave up the ghost. like what you must die now as life is a bowl of shit & your death confirms it. Sam says ok ok & then promptly dies.

[MonksWearTights]

Ah Brother Sam. You are missed.

[jeffandmissymello]

the creepy thing was that his brother was there when he got out of the car and layed down the brother said sam was reasoning with someone who wasnt there then said ok ok and died

[SantaBarbaraDianne]

whoa....

[leshager]

people forget sam was a man of god, a preacher, and when he died? he had just turned his life around and was feeling good about everything...thats god's sense of humor i guess...people energy is niether created nor destroyed, and sam is doing his "jesus" bit to god right now cracking him the fuck up..RIP Sam, you are a genius.

[inbetweentics]

@jeffandmissymello

yeah he was talking to god

[Spurs212009]

his gravestone reads "In Another Time and Place he would have been called a prophet" isn't that the truth... I'm 20 years old and didn't get to experience his comedy til after he was gone... what a shame... easily the best comedic mind ever. RIP Sammy the world lost laughter when you passed.

[RELubber]

Alot of the laughter in this world died the day Sam left us.

Damn shame.

[Soleman92]

Hopefully the kid feels a little different about it now that he's an adult. I know his name, but I think I'll hold back on that for fear that some wacko will hunt him down.

[Mattyballz]

I know one thing, we should hunt him down and kill him! little peice of shit! he will burn in Hell! Miss you Sam I know I'll see you on the other side! R.I.P.

[deeanna50]

Yea and the motherfucker who hit him bragged about it. What ever happened to that asshole?

[alkrin]

The DickAss was charged with vehicular manslaughter,

sentenced to 300 hours of community service,

a year's probation, and

he was released to the custody of his parents.

i looked it up... he got away with it

[frank197594]

I hear ya. I don't remember that (the bragging), but I hear ya. Kinison was a great comedian!

[BattleReb]

He was saying something like, "I'm the one who killed Sam Kinison."

Maybe someday he'll get his.

[outlawwolf621]

Sam did'nt deserve to die,he just got cleaned up.But I guess God wanted him before he screwed himself up again.

[mattbones]

A SAD DAY FOR COMEDY.

WE MISS YOU SAM!

[Mowac]

NO SHIT MAN........I never laughed harder in my life just by listening to him......If this guy can make Dennis Miller laugh so hard that tears came out of his eyes......you were the man.

[aguywithapanda]

he wasnt convicted cause sam was found with trace amount of coke in him

[AarHan3]

I was about to graduate from high school at the time. Horrible way to go... <:-(

[mthomas4139]

Damn, I miss the comedians of that era.

Out of curiosity, was the guy ever convicted? From what I remember, Sam was pretty messed up himself...

[shaqpopcorn1]

the guy who crashed into same had been drinking,but was not legally drunk...im pretty sure he was not convicted

[sbijan666]

did you know that the kid who slammed into Sam's

car and killed him had just received an award for safe driving ? hmmmmmm!!!!

[Letranger]

Deserve?

[shaqpopcorn1]

you deserve to die dailymaildom

[tariessemor]

What ever happened to the driver of the truck & Sam's wife? This feels like it happened yesterday... I miss him, there will never be another like him. :(

[misfitwitch]

Sam's wife is my cousin, Malika. She is now married to Paul Borghese and the last I heard, she is working as a makeup artist.

[badderthanyou]

And trying to sue Bill with some cockamamie idea he forged the will. She is a scumbag.

[LJARSONBECK]

I remember well when this news "broke" and immediately thinking how ironic it was that he had a comedy premiss of: "WE'RE GONNA DRINK -WE'RE DRIVE AND WE'RE GONNA GET AWAY WITH IT!!". I always wondered if the murderer was a Sam fan hearing those words in his own mind when he stepped into his truck.

[velvetcane]

I think that sam would laf right along if someone made fun of his death....I'm sure that he's smiling up at us right now ;)

[toasthater]

he's probably flipping a lot of people off be it from up or down..

[acidpopart]

up hhzhhzaaaaaa

[eileengoth]

that's horrible

[schmied777]

my favorite comedian. Damn shame. I miss that guy.

[ch33t0sss]

HE DIED ON THE SAME DAY I WAS BORN =]

[avth76]

why the fuck would you be smiling??

[ch33t0sss]

because its so cool that when he died, i was born!!! =]

[avth76]

once again, why is that cool?? he died. death is not cool no matter how much marilyn manson tells you it is.

[ch33t0sss]

oops he wasan't that old 38???...but still, poor 17 year old who got convicted of man slaughter =[

[henhao1972]

fuck the 17 year old! he killed someone!

[vv901vv901]

Then you're him.

...reincarnation, dude. Start working on an act.

[ch33t0sss]

Who the f*ck was he anyways....

COOL so i was some old guy in my past lifee

[alphaerik]

Sam Kinison, was one of the Greatest Comedians to walk the face of the Earth.

[elguaporusty]

The time back then was different. Family unit was strong, the cold war just ended. The greatest funny men on the market. Rodney Dangerfeild, Sam Kinison, John Candy, George Carlin, Steve Martin. So long to the Magnificent

[Xiaopang3333]

if you list carlin, then you also have to add bill hicks

[bebopPete]

If you list John Candy, then you really shouldn't be forgetting to include Richard Pryor.

[ikshields]

"Family unit was strong"??

In the context of your comment, this drops in out of the blue.

You mean, your family unit was strong? Are you talking about family members, or the family refrigerator?

Or do you think all of America was living as one commune in a nice two-bedroom in Peoria, getting along fine 'til somebody finished off somebody else's peanut butter?

If so, I must have missed the memo.

[elguaporusty]

Times were different then. That time with the greats. Kinison, Dangerfield, Carlin, Dice and that time frame. The cold war was over

[zeRonster]

Man it's always the loud funny ones the can't stay longer, Chris Farley, Sam Kinison..rip

[hardsly]

I saw him in concert 2x NEW YORk..he was driving stoned...I thought he was funny as hell BUT he was stoned who knows which one of OUR family memebers he might have killed His "wife" was HOT so was her sister...jessica Hahn in her prime what a time!!Howard Stern ..

[mindstormsabrewin]

You are wrong. Kinison's toxicology report was clean. The OTHER driver was DUI. Please do not spread misinformation.

[GlennTheRussian]

Kinison was 100% sober but they did find a slight trace of cocaine in his blood.

[ikshields]

He spent half his life, buying groceries, working day and night, driving everywhere, eating, sleeping, and balancing his checkbook, with a slight trace of cocaine in his blood.

Wouldn't've made any difference.

[GlennTheRussian]

I know that, but im just saying.

[PONTlACRED]

Hardsly, You imply that Sam was the one that caused the reck, he was hit head on by 17 year old kid. He didn't hit anyone he was hit head on by a 17 yr old. And "he was driving stoned, though" How do you know that were you there, did you do the toxicology test? Don't believe all the rumors you hear.

[superchevy7]

had tickets to see him in  laughlin man was i bummed out

[BigTMan1]

Too bad Bill Kinison didn't have a gun on him when that teen aged punk started raving about his truck while Sam's dying in Carl's lap.

[louie99999]

i miss sam - god i wish i could scream like that guy!

[neverneverlandearth]

he wasn't born in Peoria; he was born in Yakima, Wash. this Chicago station f***ed up on the facts. he lived in Peoria later on.

[Spurs212009]

his family raised him in Pieoria but you're righ the was born in Yakima

[Thag20]

I heard the first thing the driver said was "man, look what he did to my truck!". rip

[Dioblox1]

Man, that driver... You know he's gonna go through shit his entire life. I mean, how the fuck do you live that down? "Yeah, when I was 17 I got a DUI and killed Sam Kinison, possibly one of the funniest men ever." You can only imagine how many people wanted that dick weeds blood.

[qwuad60]

The driver bragged and sighned autographs for people saying he killed sam kinison,it's a sick world bud. p.s I agree the driver is a total dick weed.

[DeeJayRoyalT]

One of the funniest comedians EVER. It's sad that he wasn't around longer.

[hawkeye9090]

the day the humor died.

[hollywoodliberal1]

Goodbye Sam, we still miss you

[hankgs]

I hope that DUI driver has bad juju the rest of his miserable days...

[shikkadance]

Rest in peace Sam!

[Karatemaster33]

rip Sam
