family to be able to go see comic. it makes them accessible to a broader market. i read recently, kim jong-un is considering outlawing sarcasm in north korea. wow! i wonder if he propose that had to his team and one of his generals said, oh, yeah, that will work. probably the best comedian who happens to be clean is brian regan. when he would get done with his show, no one in the audience is saying, i can t believe he did not curse. he s clean not because he did it for corporate money or to be more petitioning for television. he did it because his sense of humor rings clean. so we want brian to be clean. although it would be funny to see him go off the rails. just get him drunk. some law firms deal with dui. then aggravated dui.
they said it was too offensive. the bill hicks incident on letterman became the thing of legend. so when we talk about clean comedy and dirty comedy, it was completely within the parameters of what is acceptable on network television. if that s who you re bringing onto your show, that s what you re going to get. if you re not wanting that, you re going to get, probably, a terrible version of that person. bill hicks felt violated. he never did the letterman show again, and it haunted dave. i want you folks to enjoy this, honestly. years later, after hicks had died, letterman had hicks mom on the show and they played the set in its entirety. i think it s interesting to note how people act on religious beliefs, you know what i mean? like a lot of christians wear crosses around their necks. nice sentiment. do you think when jesus comes back he s really going to want to look at a cross? it was trail blazing, and bill
had never seen his act. i didn t know what it was. i only new one thing. i was sort of amazed that the guys i was working with built a show around it, but they did and it was great. his comedy was very, very specific, and it catered to the man. he had a set that was tailor made for a point of view that was for television. but he did have to tone it down. it was actually a very uncomfortable transition from tim allen the comedian to tim allen the abc sitcom star. i don t work wonderfully clean. the first thing to shrink on
tiny trip to suck the coolness out of you. she s got that joke when you re walking and you trip and you look around to make sure nobody saw you and you do this whole performance for someone who might have seen you 50 yards away where you look to see what you could have tripped on. it s so specific, yet so universal. you re never thinking that was a clean show, you re just thinking i laughed so hard, my stomach hurts, my cheekbones hurt. comedians only want one adjective, funny. emo comedian, gay comedian, ethnic comedian, oh, the funniest, wheelchair bound comedian, no one wants that, they just want funny. the last couple years i ve referred to bill cosby as the artist formerly known as bill cosby. it gives me a way to go, yeah, i know, i know.
let s say you know him from full house, that s the father from full house, we should take the kids and go to the show. the kids won t get in, but you ll shoot yourself at the front table. you ll be like what have i done? thank you. when people saw bob a lot. they were like i see people s faces and a lot of nice ladies in the audience are like you just keep your mouth like that, i ll be right there. he loved it. he loved that they were thrown off. he was free. [ bleep ] you all and suck my hundred million dollar [ bleep ]. that s the perfect room. you get to have a tv show, make some money, but you also get to do standup comedy and be who you are. great success. doesn t come for everybody. the landscape is strewn with the bodies of standups who got television deals and it just didn t work. my butt is really sore. from when they were playing pin the tail on the honky. they tried sitcoms with dave chappell.
