Comedian Bernie Mac was admitted to a Chicago hospital on Friday and is being treated for pneumonia.

In a statement, his publicist said that the 50-year-old comedian is responding well to treatment and should be released soon.   She also said that the pneumonia isn’t related to an inflammatory lung disease that Mac also has. That condition has been in remission since 2005.
