Patrice O’Neal, a famous comedian who recently performed on Comedy Central’s Charlie Sheen Roast, has suffered a massive stroke last week. The sad news was announced on Oct. 26 by fellow comedian Jim Norton on the “Opie and Anthony Show”. “We’re all here to let people know that one of our really, really good friends fell ill, fell sick… Patrice O’Neal had a stroke. We wanted it to come from us … we don’t know how he is. We don’t know how he’s going to be.” Unfortunately, he hasn’t heard much since the incident since he confessed. Norton added that he made the announcement on air because “we wanted it to come from us.”

Charlie Sheen has reached out to comedian Patrice O’Neal to wish him a speedy recovery after he recently suffered a stroke. In a statement released to TMZ.com, Sheen says, “(Patrice) is a gentle giant, a brilliant comedian, and a noble dude. Wishing him nothing but recovery, healing and laughter.” O’Neal, who has appeared on The Office as Lonny, has diabetes. In the Charlie Sheen roast, he became a target for many jokes on his health issues. Amy Shcumer in particular blatantly said, “Patrice has always been destined for stardom, and diabetes. So tonight is not just the roast of Charlie Sheen, it’s also a farewell party for Patrice’s foot.”
