The one about Jack Carter-who is missed by this commenter-broke me up. Thanks Shecks for all the laughs.

I hate to say it, but I saw Jack E. Leonard (at the Copa) and Rickles (in Atlantic City) live and Rickles was far superior as a comedian. I could easily see how Rickles' prominence put Jack E. Leonard into a decline. It's sad, though, because I always liked Jack E.<br /><br />I thought that Shecky was gonna turn on you there when you said he talked about drugs on TV. You handled it well.<br /><br />I'm surprised, though, that he thought so highly of Jack Carter. I never thought Carter was an exceptional comedian. I never saw him live, though; I only saw him on Sullivan so many times. He wasn't exceptional -- to me, anyway. But Carter does seems nuts. His comparison of the steaks is crazy. He obviously had "issues". But, then again, all those comedians did. <br /><br />Keep 'em coming, Kliph. And the book you're gonna write is gonna be fantastic! I hope it's a best seller and brings you some cash!Bobby Wallnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2398796842887862508.post-48241886354111454272011-06-20T20:36:34.238-07:002011-06-20T20:36:34.238-07:00What a great interview!

Goes like this: <br /><br />"He said, 'No, you should buy him some new teeth because you fired him.' I said to Buddy, 'You got any money?' He had some money in the portfolio. We went across the street to The Landmark [Hotel] and started gambling. And drinking."Bob Bournehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06173098298949183691noreply@blogger.com
