32. When I first saw Billy on TV I thought what an idiot! Why is he yelling all the time but then i started watching him on Discovery channel the Pitchmen show and thought it was very interesting. I came to really enjoy watching him and looked forward to watching him every week. he seemed so personal always willing to have a laugh and help someone when then needed help. There was someone that had a comment that said that it hit them harder that MJ dying and I completely understand. It hit me harder to. He will be missed and my heart goes out to his family and to all of his friends. May he rest in peace.

33. When I first saw Mr. Mays on TV I thought what an irritating idiot! Then I started watching him on the Discovery channel on his new show pitchmen I really came to like him. He always seemed willing to have a good laugh and help someone that really needed the help. I was really shocked and I am very upset that he is gone. I am even more upset over Mr. Mays that MJ I know it sounds bad but I watched Billy and Sully every week. I feel terrible for his friends and his family. My prayers are with them.

34. This is sad. But, did I hear the spokeswoman say that he was a "young man in his 50's?" Huh? Does that mean life's just getting started at 60?

36. This is WAY MORE weirder then weird I mean look at all of the celebrities we lost in the last week let alone the last TWO MONTHS it is INSANE. Out of ALL of the people on that flight only ONE dies and guess who it is BILLY MAYS the ONLY celebrity on that flight. It is like FINAL DESTINATION or something. That is how weird it is getting. It makes you wonder WHO and WHAT is next. It is starting to get more depressing by the DAY not even the WEEK anymore.....

37. Just Going By The Reports {From The Tampa Police Dept. Spokeswoman & Billy's Interview After The Flight} That He Hit His Head On A Luggage Rack - During A Hard Landing, The Day Before He Died. And, Later That Night Said He Was Not Feeling Well & Went To Bed Early - Does Sound Like He Could Have Suffered A Subdural Hematoma - And, Not Realized It {Which A Lot Of People Don't - Until It's Too Late.} But, Of Course We Won't Know For Sure Until The Autopsy Is Done. RIP Billy!

39. I think the Obama Administration is killing off all these people to take away from what they are doing to us in Washington. Come on Gov Sanford, Farrah, Michael, now Mays! I am kidding, but we really should pay more attention to this cap & trade & healthc are reform which will cost the average American more in taxes than they can pay & jobs as well. You better worry more about this countrys future than what goes on in Hollywood.

41. 10. Geesch! >>>>>God's CLEANIN HOUSE IN HOLLYWOOD!
I figured Liz Taylor would go soon as she had been in the hospital a few weeks before Michael Jackson died.I bet MJ will be buried at Neverland and it'll become the " Graceland " of the west coast.

42. Kaboom! He's gone...Rest in Peace, Billy. You'll live on forever in our TV infomercials. I can see you now, walking up to St.Peter at the Pearly Gates of Heaven. St. Peter looks up from his book of names and says, "Welcome, my son...what is your name?". He says (loudly), " HI. BILLY MAYS HERE..."

43. to the man that said (burn in hell billy mays) your obviously an ignorant asshole to even make a statement like that. You should feel horrible for saying something that bad about somebody you dont even know.People like you are the reason the world is the way it is.
