Ol' Lonesome George (where DID he get that name, anyway?). A man with a haircut you set your watch to. I love the 12 lb box full of 2 lb boxes. Here this guy is filling out his show mostly alone or with a few props to play off of, and it sounds like alot of adlibbing to me. Todays "comedians" can't be funny for a 10 minute monologue without a huge staff of writers and they go off air for two months. They should do like George and others of their generation did it!
