Brenner was good. Back then, TV talkshow comedy was funny. Then it evolved into mean comedy, making fun of people. I recall feeling that way about Leno’s approach. Then shows became political. I stopped watching them all when Letterman retired.

I've seen a ton of movies in my life, but few movie events were as memorable for me as the release of Young Frankenstein. I was a student at UW-Madison, and they picked it up for showing at the student union theater. My buddy and I went to the early show, only to find it sold out. We managed to get two tickets in the back row for the late show, and went back to his frat house (SO much like Animal House
), fired up the bong we made from a discarded water-based semi-vacuum creator thingy we 'found' around the Chem building, and listened to a 6th-gen cassette copy of the Crepitation Contest. Then a couple of shots of te-kill-ya, a couple more bowls and we headed to the movie.About the hardest I'd ever laughed in my life.

Letterman was my favorite, I watched his first show, it came one after the Uncle Floyd puppet show that was in syndication for a few months.
Always liked Johnny Carson. Tried to like Leno but he simply wasn't that funny on the show.
The comedy roasts used to be funny back in the day. The ones in recent years are mostly a curse fest just for the sake of cursing and poorly written and delivered jokes.
Not my best choice of words.

Coltrane on soprano sax playing Mongo's composition. Probably the one more peeps are familiar with.

Two of our favorite scenes. We watched it probably 20 times and it's still a hoot!
When comics couldn't be 'blue', they had to actually be funny. Saying the F-bomb numerous times isn't funny.
The Real Book has it in that key - Fm. The original is Dm.
Now it's a toss up between Afro Blue and Invitation (fast samba/swing). Heck maybe both if we have time!

Reminds me of the Dumb and Bungle drum corp from Duluth, MN back in the '60s. It takes practice to screw up comically. They used to march in parades around Wisconsin (and presumably Minnesota). Hilarious.
George Carlin’s seven dirty words was irreverent towards broadcasters and went to the Supreme court. He pushed the envelope with the intent of making a legal point.
