While the comedian himself wasn’t home, one of his relatives was, and subsequently called 911.

In the opening minutes of his new HBO special, Chris Gethard regrets that he doesn’t have some inciting incident that he can blame for his lifelong depression. “I hate to say it,” he says, “but sometimes people just break.” Afterwards, he pauses for a moment, and you can almost hear people in the audience thinking to themselves, Wow, this got heavy real fast.
