You got it wrong. Sam was clean when he died ~
Not according to the LA Times.
Boy it would be cool if you were my gaurdian angel (Married w/Children episode)
one of the best comic’s ever love and miss you SAM
Sam you are one of the greatest,much love to your family on there loss.the world will miss your comedy.
I’ve been wondering about Sam’s death; does anyone know specifically what killed him? Was it internal injuries, impact to the head, or something else? Most accounts say that after the crash he got out of the car and was standing up, then his friend got him to sit down.
The late Sam Kinnison got it right with God upon being injured/ in his car accident. He relayed one last prayer to God, before he died, this according to his new wife. Simply put he asked of God in Christs name to be simply forgiven, it is that easy people,,,,
One last comment on Sam,,,,though his humor was edgey he got it right about the condition of those who call themselves pastors and christians, lets forget the (hypocrisy) and just live it!,,, in all (honesty)so simple,,,,stop the preaching and start the living,,it,,,Peace to you all,,,
We miss you Sam
Thanks for the laughs.
I am writing this in memory of my mother, we had many great laughs watching you. Even though you both R gone still I can remember great times of the both of you…
love you Sam
Love you Mom may god bring the best for both of you, may we have many more Laughs..
Till we meet again…
Sam was a true comic genius. very prolific and fluid. What a loss his death was. love you Sam.
To this day I still injoy playing the old sam comedy records
Too bad he had to go vulgar and his screaming was so annoying.
I certainly hope Mr. Kinison was able to repent for turning his back on God. For all who know what happened at the accident sight, that should let you know God is real, whether you know it now or at the time you realize you are dying. Get saved now while you can.
One of the classics!He took his role as a preacher and used the experience to pull off one of the most classic stand up comedy acts that kept people coming back for more. Absolutely one of the funniest comedians.
dear sam i stood on the road were you were killed i saw the spot were you layed and i lite a candle for you .you were great thank you .
I saw you at Bally’s in Reno, Nv shortly before your death. I still have your ticket stubs to that show. What a tragic loss. I miss your comedy and still laugh everytime I hear your routines..Rest in Peace Mr.Kinnison
sam the crackhead was hit by a drunk kid. we blame the drunk kid. hate to be him. we probably made him a crackhead. good job team.
Bashing Christianity after being a preacher …?
Perhaps not such a good move, huh ?
I thought he was annoying anyway..

Sounds of kinison by Fred Norris
God spoke to you the day you died. At first you didn’t want to go….but finally you listened, and was called home to be with Him. You now know what the glory of the Lord is all about.
sam was the absolute best!!!!! i miss his talent!
SHERRY SAULTZ
Copied Don Rickles pretty well
Sam Kinison was an absolute comedic legend, whether you liked his stuff or not. I believe that when he died he was clean and sober, it was actually a pick up truck that crossed the center line which caused the accident. Sam threw himself on his wife to protect her, so despite his sometimes vulgar comedy, deep inside he was a great human being.
When I was growing up I loved his sense of humor. he did & still makes me laugh cause it is all about THE TRUTH ABOUT ALL THESE DAMN WOMEN…LOL
I remember one skit where he asked the audience if they had been screwed over recently by a spouse and one chick had caught her husband screwing her sister on the dining room table. He had her come up on stage and called the dude long distance live. Then after first being polite he let the guy have it both barrels live on stage on the phone! I laughed harder than I had ever laughed in my life. Truly great moment in comedy!
We don’t have to imagine Christians murderously and enthusiastically sanctioning killing and maiming via the instrumentality of the state, it has been one feature of just about every Christian sect since the religion was popularized. Currently in the United States, the best of the group are “merely” deluded and one on one often pretty much harmless, while the worst are cannibal hypocrites who’d like to force their demonstrably clueless religious beliefs/political structures on the rest of us, with a self-selected Christian fascist cadre sitting in power above us.
There’s a lot more poison from religion than good if we’re talking about organized religion, something Kinison was able personally to testify about.
Found out today Sam has a daughter who is 21! She was born after he died.
Yeah um, if Sam has a daughter who is 21 and he died in 1992, she was born well before he died. Otherwise, she would be about 19 year old right now.
opened a new dimension to stand-up
His body was not “full of drugs” when he died as this article states. I read the other referenced article where he had two PRESCRIPTION meds in his system, along with cocaine. Do I give him a pass for this? No. But let’s report things correctly. He used to do the stuff every night, but would only do it once very few months when he would be “sober”.
That said… I miss your comedy, Sam.
this is my uncle
Everyone’s entitled to their opinion but there are a lot of hypocrites in the church but make sure YOU are not one of them, especially those who are living double lives, SICKENING!
what would the world be like with out this bringing out the shit in everyones life and making us all laugh at it AWAHAAAAA!
I hope you made it to Heaven Sam, you were pretty funny. RIP Buddy.
Years after your passing a lot of people has still acknowledged u. So n r thoughts u havent left us. We’ll c u again soon.
