He had been hospitalized in Chicago, Illinois, for more than a week with the lung infection.

Danica Smith, the comedian's publicist, had said Thursday that Mac's condition was "stable," The Associated Press reported.

"When I got the call this morning, it was just devastating news," said Chicago Sun-Times columnist Stella Foster. "Let's face it: Bernie Mac was one of a kind. He was the best of the best in terms of giving you a good laugh."

Smith previously said the pneumonia wasn't related to sarcoidosis, a lung disease Mac had, which had been in remission since 2005, according to AP.

Mac caused a stir in July with some jokes he made during a fundraiser for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, AP reported.

Mac -- born Bernard Jeffrey McCollough -- starred in the Fox television series "The Bernie Mac Show." His film roles included the "Ocean's Eleven" series, "Friday," "Get on the Bus," "Transformers" and "Bad Santa."

I had a feeling it was pretty serious when his publicist was denying the speculations a couple weeks ago.
This is quite the bummer and proves that only the good die young.

How was he? 50? I remember seeing this on metafilter this morning but I can't remember if they said his age.

I watch the re-runs of his show and have been inspired on many boring nights. I have never seen the series finale though. Some people we think will just always be there sometime slip out early.

That was sad. I didn't believe it the first time because earlier there was a false report that he had passed away. He was so funny and so young.
