Stand-up comedian Greg Giraldo, host of Last Comic Standing, and a regular Comedy Central roaster, died this week of an accidental overdose at the age of 44. On September 24, the night before his death, Giraldo performed at the Stress Factory in New Brunswick, NJ, cracking jokes about Tiger Woods and drugs. TMZ has exclusive footage from his final performance you can watch. And below, you can see Jon Stewart and The Daily Show's tribute to Giraldo, in which Stewart calls him, "one of those guys you loved to run into."
