    I like him because, unlike so many other comedians, you never know where this guy is going to go for a joke! He keeps you guessing and then, throws in a real zinger!

    I saw him around 1987 at Harrahs Tahoe, best show ever.

    All of those monotone one-liners with the weight of the world pressing down on him. Hilarious.
