It’s called Silent but Deadly for a reason. On February 25, veteran comic Kevin Smith took the stage at the Alex Theater in Glendale, CA, to perform the first of two planned stand-up shows. But right after the first show ended, he suffered a near-fatal heart attack.
Smith tweeted about it after the fact, writing: “After the first show this evening, I had a massive heart attack. The Doctor who saved my life told me I had 100% blockage of my Lad artery (aka “the Widow-Maker”). If I hadn’t canceled show 2 to go to the hospital, I would’ve died tonight.

Now Showtime has set a premiere date of 9 Pm Friday, May 11, for the special that was shot that night.

Smith recently tweeted that he’d lost 26 pounds,...
