Alan Colmes, Titzup At 66
2017-02-23
Fox News Channel's Alan Colmes has passed away at age 66 after a brief illness.

Colmes leaves behind his wife, Jocelyn Crowley, who issued the following statement:


Alan Colmes passed away this morning after a brief illness. He was 66-years-old. He leaves his adoring and devoted wife, Jocelyn Elise Crowley. He was a great guy, brilliant, hysterical, and moral. He was fiercely loyal, and the only thing he loved more than his work was his life with Jocelyn. He will be missed. The family has asked for privacy during this very difficult time.

Bill Hemmer announced the sad news this morning on "America's Newsroom," which then aired a tribute package from Fox News Channel host Sean Hannity, his former co-host on "Hannity & Colmes."

In a statement this morning, Hannity called Alan Colmes "one of life's most decent, kind and wonderful people you'd ever want to meet."

#6  I'd call it a pretty good reference,
Depending, withal, on your preference,
That Monica's sister
Cites Alan as mister
(condolences, all, and due deference).

#5  According to John Derbyshire, Colmes was a real mensch, even after The Talk, NonBlack Version turned Derbyshire radioactive.

#3  Only good commie is a dead commie. Sorry if that offends, but I'm not taking it back.

#2  I agree with rjs. Seldom agreed with Colmes but he seemed like an honest liberal (no, not an oxymoron, sometimes.) 66 seems way too young to me, at 63...

#1  Rarely agreed with him, but whenever I was on the fence I found his debate style more convincing than Hannity's approach.
