It was heart failure that finally silenced one of the most infamous comedians of all time. He has a resume that includes many guest host appearances of The Tonight Show, first host of Saturday Night Live, being ranked 2nd in Comedy Central’s list of the 100 Greatest Stand-Ups Of All Time ahead of Lenny Bruce and second only to Richard Pryor, being arrested in Milwaukee for the vulgarity of his routine, having a FCC fine in result of one of his radio appearances going all the way to the Supreme Court, numerous HBO specials, numerous film appearances, a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2001 American Comedy Awards, and just four days before his death it was announced that the Kennedy Center of Performing Arts would award him the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor later this November.
His routines always touched on the taboo. He was never afraid to talk about what was wrong in the world and in his own country, always pointing out how things are changing, and educating while he was entertaining. He now joins the ranks of past greats we will never forget.
Below is the routine he most known for: Seven Dirty Words.

Cops and robbers. Cowboys and Indians. Whatever the name, both are childhood games that keep kids entertained for hours on end and teach that being good is better than being bad. Unfortunately for Justin MacGilfrey of South Daytona, it taught him that the best way to rob a convenience store is with a finger gun.
Although the clerk didn’t take him seriously and chased him off, MacGilfrey could have gotten away with attempted robbery if the Daytona Beach police had not been called to a disturbance. His last contribution to the entire act was admitting to the robbery attempt but blaming it on a second party for forcing him into it and threatening him with a weapon if he didn’t.
For the sake of MacGilfrey’s dignity, we can only hope he, too, wasn’t threatened with a finger gun.
