"Undead Comic" -- Melinda helps a troubled comedian, who is haunting the comedy club where he used to perform, find closure following his tragic suicide, on GHOST WHISPERER, Friday, Dec. 16 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Eric Laneuville directed the episode from a script by Doug Prochilo.

As Andrea prepares to do standup at a local comedy club, Melinda encounters a bevy of dead comedians engaging in their own comedy act. One comic in particular stands out, as he is troubled and yearning to remember what lead to his tragic suicide.
