Despite his multiple appearances on the Comedy Central Roasts, being a series regular on Lewis Black's Root of All Evil (2008), and even having his own show on the network, he had only one stand-up special on Comedy Central, which was the 2009 "Greg Giraldo: Midlife Vices" (2009) (TV)_ show.

Was a lawyer for less than a year before he changed his profession to comedy.

On March 18, 2011, Comedy Central aired a tribute to Greg titled Give It Up for Greg Giraldo (2011). Fellow comedians Sarah Silverman, 'Nick Swardson'', Lewis Black, Conan O'Brien, Denis Leary, Dave Attell, and Jeffrey Ross (to name a few) gave very emotional heartfelt condolences to Greg.

Performed his last stand-up show on September 24, 2010, in New Jersey.

Had his own show on Comedy Central for a brief period of time, titled "Stand-Up Nation with Greg Giraldo" (2005)_.

In a stand-up act not long before his death, Giraldo went on a rant about getting divorced "again." However, in real life while he was estranged from his 2nd wife, they were not divorced and had not begun any legal process to get divorced.
