Working as a comedian since the 1970s, yet hardly anyone has heard of him (I had never heard this name). Probably a C-grade comedian, and know more for being friends with famous comedians than being one himself.

Why was he crossing that intersection on foot at that unearthly hour? Who knows. RIP.

An acquaintance from my youth was a locally popular comedian. Hosted at a well-known club, went on the road a lot, did corporate gigs. He was considered ‘blue’, so he never got on the talk shows. About 25 years ago I did the math and figured he was making more than $250,000/year.
