Comedian Bernie Mac has been hospitalized with pneumonia. It is not clear when Bernie entered the hospital, but he is expected to be released soon. Danica Smith, Bernie’s publicist, stated that, “Mr. Mac is responding well to treatment and will be released soon.” Smith also stated that the pneumonia is not related to Bernie’s sarcoidosis, which has been in remission since 2005. Bernie Mac’s wife of 31 years, Rhonda McCullough, has remained at his bedside and Bernie has asked, “that his privacy and that of his family is respected while he gets well.”
