“i just want to know who the fuck did it”

That was the line that got him fired from SNL.

I was watching the night he said it.

Evidently, the answer is, “he did it himself.”

He was a local guy who went to RISD and was well known around Rhode Island in the years before he got the national exposure. Although I hadn’t seen him in years and wouldn’t call myself a fan per se, his passing makes me nostalgic for a certain time in my life, and leaves me saddened once again for another suicide.

RIP, Charlie Rocket.
