His family confirmed his death on May 9, describing him as a source of laughter and joy who left a lasting impact on comedy. Born in 1946 in Lithonia, Georgia, James began working at his family&#8217;s grocery store at age 11. He later served as a postman and joined the US Marines, but was medically discharged. After 18 years in sales, he transitioned to comedy at 36 and became a beloved stand-up performer in the southeastern US. His career spanned 41 years, including tours for US troops. James&#8217;s autobiography will be published in November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/?p=33405\">also read&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;..<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>James Gregory, known as &#8220;The Funniest Man in America,&#8221; passed away at the age of 78 due to cardiac complications.
