I saw him in the late 80's at Faneuil Hall.

That's great. he is hilarious. I've never spent much time with him.

I never really went to comedy shows back then. I don't know why. I did see Bob Nelson in NYC in 1996.

I had that on a VCR tape from The Dangerfield special on HBO.

I've watched a few clips on YouTube of Dangerfield doing Carson's show recently. His command of his material was sheer brilliance.

I haven't thought about Richard Jeni in a long time. I remember enjoying his stand-up whenever I saw him on TV. Shame what happened to him*

*Before you ask, Tim, he killed himself.

He will always be my favorite comedian. Richard Jeni was voted by other comedians as the best stand up multiple times.

I never thought in a million years he'd take his life.

I did too. I watched it religiously. There was a time when I could've recited his first appearance verbatim. The second one was good, but not as good as the first.

I gave my parents a list of things to record for me while I was at college, and they did a great job in doing it.

I don't think ever really gave Richard Jeni a chance. Maybe I'll check him out.

He had so many HBO specials where my jaw was hurting from laughing so hard.

There's nobody better.

While I've mainly listened to him on the Boogie Monster podcast, Kyle Kinane is a comedian I've gotten into over the last year or so. There's a laid back quick wit that shines on the podcasts I really enjoy. I've listened to a couple of specials and they're definitely a good time, especially the latest one.

He recently released a filmed version of his last special Trampoline In A Ditch for free on YouTube. If there's one clip I'd highly recommend it's the bowling story starting at about an hour and five minutes in which is linked in the description of the video.
