The most memorable performance was my appearance in concert in Carnegie Hall. The first standup to do so.

I believe it is important for comedians to know who came before them.

Unquestionably, standup comedy is and has always been an art form.

I quit smoking well over twenty years ago.

Though it sold very well, I hated "The Edge."

I was an actor before becoming a comedian.

My first job was at a Chicago night club called Mr. Kelly's.
