Jak Knight's Death Shocks Comedy Community
Say a little prayer
God bless Jak Knight

A simple prayer is all that's needed in times like this for some. Knight's friends have been sharing just how much he contributed in such little time, having been discovered when he was barely 20 years old.

All comedians dream of getting their props from Comedy Central. Knight is one who the network always noticed, and he had the pleasure of doing some work for.

Jak Knight was hilarious. His voice in comedy will be missed.

Knight's style of comedy was funny without being overt. He was on the rise but continuing on the standup circuit.

Many say Knight was both funny and a joy to be around. A combination like that is hard to come by.

The craziest thing about all of us in the comedy community sharing our love & sentiments about Jak is that he would have legit roasted the fuck out of all of us if he was still here for saying all this sappy shit.

Though he will be missed, many of his comedy friends all agree he'd be cracking jokes at even the saddest times. Comedians are known to turn tragedy into anything funny.
