In my opinion, being on the road for 200 nights/year, or more, has a lot to do with why he died so relatively young.
I think his tour had just kicked off, in FL.
I had no idea he’d been on the road 200 nights/year, or more. Where did you see that?
Look at post #118. That’s the kind of schedule he’s been keeping for the past 45 years that he was doing comedy.
This is despite the fact that he has huge name recognition in the comedy circuit. If he’s keeping this schedule now, it means he’s always been keeping that schedule. It takes a toll on one’s health.
200 shows/year goes with the job of being a comedian. They’ve all done it.
