Last Sunday, as Kevin Smith was having a massive heart attack, he was filming a comedy special. Some have wondered if he would still release what they have or put it in a vault somewhere, never to be seen.
Over the weekend, he posted a photo from the standup and gave an update on the special.
“Spending my Saturday night watching the standup special that @comedydynamics was shooting last weekend, right before that ghastly fella with the scythe and dark robe showed up and tapped me on my shoulder. If I had checked out permanently, this would’ve been a great little document to leave in my wake: there’s some legit funny shit in it! I’m watching closely for possible edits (gotta get it down to 75 minutes) but also for possible signs of the impending heart attack. This dopey sumbitch in the video thinks shooting this show is the biggest thing that’s gonna happen to him that night. He has no clue he’s about to go on the adventure of a lifetime to meet the God of Death and tell him “Not today.” (P.S. – A very cool network has already bought the special. I’ll let you know which one it is when the deal’s done.) #KevinSmith #comedy #editing #whatadifferenceadaymakes
Whichever network bought it, needs to do a pre or post special with him talking about his heart attack and what he went through that night. To run it without that, would be a disgrace.
Although, his comedy specials are pretty funny without any subcontext.
