The most unusual salesman I ever met is a fellow who made a modest fortune purveying lightning rods. But he suddenly lost interest in his work. He got caught in a storm with a bunch of samples in his arms.

As much experience, education and awareness as one can attain is important for a comedian.

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

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

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

I quit smoking well over twenty years ago.

Incidentally, I'm still looking for acting work, my first love.
