Quote HistoryQuoted: Stand up comedians are considered separate from skit / sketch comedians in the industry Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Mitch Hedberg, Patrice O'neal, Bernie Mac, John Pinette, Gilda Radner, Lenny Bruce. Stand up comedians are considered separate from skit / sketch comedians in the industry Bernie Mac did both. He had the Bernie Mac show, and Kings of Comedy Tour(s) Patrice Oneal was working on a deal around the time he got sick. { ...In March 2010, O'Neal secured a deal with Comedy Central for a stand-up special and a script for a proposed reality television show, Patrice O'Neal's Guide to White People..} Gilda Radner was on SNL - she was one of the original crew. Hedberg signed a deal with Fox for $1/2M for a sitcom Lenny Bruce did not become the sketch comedian as we know them today, simply because he was majorly blacklisted from television John Pinette ..was an American stand-up comedian, actor, and Broadway performer. An early break for Pinette was being asked to tour with Frank Sinatra. Pinette was a regular guest on The Tonight Show and The View.[5] Pinette appeared in the films Duets, Simon Sez, The Last Godfather, Dear God, and Junior. In 2004, Pinette played Bumpo in Artisan Entertainment's The Punisher, starring Thomas Jane and John Travolta. In 1991, he was a regular cast member on the reality show The Grudge Match as the referee on the series. He was a regular on the series Parker Lewis Can't Lose and, in 1998, played the carjacking victim in the final episode of the sitcom Seinfeld. Pinette was named Stand-Up Comedian of the Year by the American Comedy Awards in 1999 and received a Gemini Award nomination for his televised performance at Montreal's Just for Laughs Comedy Festival in 2000.[6] At the time of his death, he still held the record for the highest-selling one-person show in the history of Just for Laughs.[7] In 2004, Pinette joined the touring cast of the musical Hairspray in the role of Edna Turnblad.  [9] He later went on to the Broadway production in 2005, and continued in the role until May 28, 2006.[10] In his 2006 concert I'm Starvin', he said it was the first musical theater production he had been in since high school. |

My wife and I were talking about the different trajectory Bill Murray's career has taken, compared to guys like Chevy Chase and Dan Aykroyd.
I wondered, if Belushi had lived, how he would have turned out? (My guess is, more like Chase and Aykroyd.) |

Quoted: Andy Kaufman May not have been funny all the time but he was a genius. He pushed comedy so far sometimes, it wasn’t funny if that makes any sense. People just didn’t get it. I certainly didn’t. A comedian goes out on stage and makes people laugh. Andy Kaufman didn't do that. Andy Kaufman went out on stage to fuck with people's heads and provoke a reaction. To him, a bit that made someone take a swing at him was just as successful as one that made people laugh. Perhaps more so. And... Tony Clifton was one of the most brilliant things that anyone ever came up with. Even the people he worked with weren't really sure what he was all about.

Belushi and Aykroyd had summer places in my town. One summer night they showed up at a local charity auction and asked if they could help auction off some of the junk. They were both pretty well lit, and as funny as anything I’ve ever seen. Selling old chairs, broken lamps, I knew I was watching genius at work.

Never understood the love for Chris Farley. Unwatchable on film, unfunny on SNL. Like an ersatz Belushi.
A +1 to whoever called Kaufman a performance artist. Andy Kaufman was a sick little pleasure to watch. Back then watching Kaufman was like watching a train wreck. Tony Clifton, Kaufman as Elvis, Kaufman and Jerry Lawler, more than just a comedian. |

I certainly didn’t. You're mistaking shlock for genius. Kaufman was fearless, but he was only rarely, sophomorically funny. Hartman was genuinely funny. None of them were as naturally funny nor had the timing of Patrice O'Neal. |

Let's not bicker and argue over who killed who, but rather let’s celebrate that SNL in its prime existed with such great comedians. How many of us had our sense of humor shaped by these guys?
My brother and I grew up watching these guys, we still quote SNL scenes and lines in daily conversations. |

If weird behavior can be called comedy, Harmony Korine and Crispin Glover are comedic geniuses. |
