Kinison was hilarious. Loved his style. Cracked me up with Rodney Dangerfield in Back to School.

His “I’ll tell ya how to solve world hunger...” schtick is an all-time favorite of mine.

Died too young.

I’ve told this story before: I was on the stretch of road (US 95, a two-lane highway) en route to Laughlin above the CA/NV border just 3 weeks after he was killed there (4/10/92). This was when we had to bypass L.A. because of the Rodney King riots.

I was depressed thinking about it. :-(

A truly great comedic talent-—the Lenny Bruce of his day.

Sam Kinison's appearance on Married With Children as an angel trying to get his wings with Al Bundy doing their interpretation of Scrooge in a Christmas Episode--may be one of TV's single best comedic episodes.

WKRP "As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly." is still #1 tho.

Angel: I know you think you got it tough: your wife doesn’t respect you, your kids think you’re a failure, a good day for you is when you don’t come across any new foot diseases... Believe me, I sympathize. But you think your life reeks? Take a whiff of mine, pal.

[gets up]

Angel: My wife gained a hundred pounds for every year we were married. We had two kids, I think she ate ‘em, I dunno. I hated driving home so much that I had vanity plates written up that said “hit me”. But despite it all, she loved me. You know how I know? Because she TOLD ME! Oh yeah. When I was at work, she loved my father, my brother, by bookie... But when I found my grandfather’s teeth in my bed under the pillow, then I knew there was trouble in paradise.

[sits back down]

Angel: That’s when I did what any other man would do, Bundy. I canceled my life insurance policy, and then I hung myself. Showed her, huh?

[laughs insanely]

Al: And you’re here to help me, huh?

Yah. Unfortunately his TV show didn’t work quite as well because of limitations on his profanity. Also, while he, “the devil” was the star, his role was extremely limited in that construct, more so than Robin Williams as “mork”

Leftism sucks the joy out of life. We are all demanded to look the same, act the same, dress the same, make the same money, women are to act like men and viceversa, we are demanded to not offend or poke fun at anything — even ourselves.

Who in the world would sign up for such an ideology?
