But before Greg became the most anticipated segment of every Comedy Central Roast, he was just a working-class kid from the Bronx, born to a Colombian father and a Spanish mother, trying to figure out his version of the American dream. A graduate of Harvard Law School, he gave up a promising law career to pursue his passion for standup comedy, in which he achieved enormous success. Amid battles with addiction and relational struggles, Greg ascended the heights of the comedy world and became one of the premier political commentating comedians of his time, even being one of the first comedians to defy the Bush Administration and perform 9/11-based standup material. A husband, father, friend, and powerhouse headliner until his untimely death in 2010, his posthumous legacy only grows as his taped specials, TV appearances and roasts are discovered by new generations of fans. This is his story. See less
