...previously unheard material in a handsome 80-page book. It's a must for any advanced Bruceophile. And two years ago, Comedy Central chose the 100 all-time greatest stand-up comedians. Lenny was #3, trailing only Richard Pryor and George Carlin, two social critics who (as Carlin notes) wouldn't have had the careers they did if Lenny hadn't made unfettered comedy possible...
...whole family works for me, and I pay everybody what they deserve, which is a really good salary because I wouldn't be here without them. Those lean years when I was unpublished, nobody ever said to me, "Why don't you get a real job?" They said, "You can do it, Mom." So now we're all sharing...
