According to E! Online, the comedian was also remembered during a wake that was held at New York's Andrett Funeral home, with stars including Sarah Silverman, Chris Rock, Colin Quinn and Jon Stewart in attendance.
Quinn reportedly gave a speech about Giraldo, describing his late friend as "so much more than an insult comic... Greg was a comic's comic, who other comics would run to see when he was on stage".
