Vaughn Meader
The First Family (Cadence) :: He looked like JFK, he sounded like JFK, and three shots later his comedy career was as dead as JFK.

Bob Booker

Rusty Warren
Knockers Up! (Jubilee) :: Oh yasss!

Steve Martin
Let’s Get Small (Warner Bros.) :: The Metallica of comedy is a mild and lazy guy.

Bill Cosby

Eddie Murphy

Richard Pryor
Live On The Sunset Strip (Warner Bros.) :: A 50-foot solid gold monument wouldn’t even begin to do the man proper justice.

Bob Newhart

SIZZLING PLATTER OF THE WEEK: Shelley Berman
Inside Shelley Berman (Verve) :: But the coolest of the cool remains Mr. Berman, who’s still making bridled anxiety an art. Even cooler: His classic telephone routines are more relevant today than they were back in the ’50s.

Be seeing you!
