A few weeks after Kenny DeForest died, a group of his friends gathered in an apartment in Los Angeles.
The mood was somber — Mr. DeForest was only 37, and he had died from traumatic brain injuries after falling off an electric bike in Brooklyn.
But Mr. DeForest was a professional comedian, and his friends were all comedians, and any gathering of comedians eventually comes to feel like a party.
They were playing a game where everybody gets a card with a single word and then gives clues to help their teammates guess the word.
Will Miles, one of Mr. DeForest’s best friends, plucked a card from the deck.
