Man WTF??? Harris Wittels died.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/...-producer-harris-wittels-found-dead/23714619/

Harris Wittels, a co-executive producer of NBC'sParks and Recreation, died Thursday.

Police found Wittels to be unresponsive at his Los Angeles home when they responded at noon to a call regarding a possible drug overdose, said Officer Jeffrey Dohlen of the Los Angeles Police Department. A work assistant discovered the 30-year-old Wittels, police said.

In addition to his TV work, Wittels is credited with coining the popular term humblebrag, a word defined on Amazon.com as brags that are "ever-so-thinly disguised as transparent humility." He wrote a 2012 book, Humblebrag: The Art of False Modesty, based on a Twitter feed dedicated to such boastings..

Besides Parks, Wittels' other writing credits include Eastbound & Down and The Sarah Silverman Program.

Parks and Recreation, which stars Amy Poehler, ends its seven-season run on Tuesday.

Friends mourned the loss of Wittels via Twitter, with Silverman expressing her sorrow.



Comedian Kevin Nealon also conveyed his grief.

^^Yeah, that was sad to hear. I was just listening to You Made it Weird w/Harris as a guest a few months back. He was talking about his drug issues and time in rehab. It sounded like he was turning things around.

These were 2 great back to back episodes. The Johnny Karate episode was so well done and really had the feel of a kids show with all his friends cast in the right role. Even the commercials in between the segments like the Pounch burger one were fantastic. Then his be nice segment was for April because she was feeling bad about them moving :mjcry:

Then the 2nd episode with the return of Jean Ralphio and Mona Lisa. Her money please line is :russ:. Eagleton Ron coming back to anger Ron and him finding a new barber to enjoy. When he gave the deceased barber a 10 and said I will collect my change from your wife because I don't believe in tipping :dead:.

Tom finally getting the girl and doing a good proposal :obama:

Jerry after years of being shyt on becomes the mayor and gets that nice celebration :to:

I like the show and have seen every episode. Don't love it like some people do. But Ron Swanson is one of the greatest sitcom characters of all time.
