"Broad jump? Killed her" is such a killer joke. Zero fat on it at all. RIP Louie.
For those who don't know Carson, an up and coming comedian who gets called over to the couch meant that their career was about to take a drastic change. Was every comedians dream to get that call. For those that didn't, it could have been devastating (although I am sure plenty made it even without the call).
Another good example of a comedian having their life changed by the call over was Drew Carey https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6Bt-q_pRh8
Can people stop dying for a couple of days for Christ's sake.
I loved Louie. He always kept his bits clean and they were always funny. His books are worth the read.
Johnny should have called him to the couch.
Some decent lines in here, but itโs really sad so much of this is just making fun of himself for his weight. Louieโs later stuff, especially his time on Baskets, was so much better.
Louie passed away today at 68 from a battle with blood cancer.
RIP Louie. I hadn't thought about him for years, until I heard about his hospitalization a few days ago. Use to watch that cartoon Saturday mornings. pretty funny dude indeed.
If youโve never heard his moose lodge story, itโs delivered perfectly.
Not a person that watchalot of standup but isn't this very different from standup nowadays? Nowadays standup is a long laid out story with a couple of punchlines, this appearance was more short joke after short joke.
