Evidently. It's certainly the funniest he's been in years and warms my heart
to see it. Esp. that "fuckin' jerkoff......asshole guy" bit at the end.

Whenever Clay is given the opportunity he proves again how eager he is
for obscurity.
If he's a comedian, then shitting in the middle of the street is acting.
He's an actor too.

If he's a comedian then it would be an angry fucked-up self-destructive
low-brow dimwit?
As an entertainer he predominantly evokes embarrassment and discomfort.
Whenever I find myself distracted by the neuroses of an entertainer,
rather than focusing on what they are saying, how effective could they
be?
His response in this CNN thing was apparently predicated on that fact
that he didn't want to be seen as "coming back" from anything. Just
because they stopped calling didn't mean he changed careers. But
apparently he DID change careers.
From a Yahoo biography: "Clay moved his wife and two boys to Florida
for a couple years where he ran a Gold's Gym and underwent therapy." I
guess we know where CNN did their "research"...
I loved Dice when he was on the Stern Show back in the day. His
classic battles with Mark Harris (the gay man who married Martha Rae
and took all her money when she died) were the stuff of legends.
It was retarded for him to make the change he did and burn all those
bridges and now it's too late. It's more sad than anything else to see
the guy self-destructing. He also seems to have packed on about
100lbs.

Right! Makes for a good comedian for me.

I love when celebs break down in public.

Right. From an impeachable source.
Yahoo.

Too little too late but just enough to make me giggle like a retard.
And Raj, I was living in NYC at the time of those battles with that horrid
alternative lifestyle type that you speak of. That shit was brilliant!
Brian
Having grown up in Jersey I listened to Stern back to WNBC and I even
remember hearing him on visits down to DC before that when he was at
DC-101. I am, as they say, a superfan although I've been very sad
since Jackie Martling left and Artie Lange is no replacement.
Yes, the Diceman on Stern in those days was classic stuff.
Raj
'89-'93.
Almost all in Brooklyn. About 6 months in Manhattan on St. Marks between 2nd
and 3rd.
About Artie....I felt the same way at first but give him a chance. He grows
on you and gets better.
Brian
Well, yeah, I tolerate him much better now than I did back when he
joined in 2001. Anyway, I'm still listening to the show every day so I
guess I have no right to comment really.
By the way in '89-'92 I was living in Elmhurst, Queens and working at
a company in Rockefeller Center.

That's what I love about comedy; everybody gets their own flavor.
Actually there is a compelling argument that most humor pivots on
significant anger. Rickles wasn't a smash-hit across middle-America
because he had dimples.
In his first 15 minutes of fame Dice had me on the floor. Unfortunately
it was the only song he knew and when he got hammered for it, the fact
that he didn't have much material was a problem.
Then I heard he went all Christian on us and ditched his core market by
trying to be "nice" for the market that hated him. What use is that?
Rickles with insults, Woody without angst, Hope without grease.
Pointless.

"Break down" means...? Make a fool of themselves or torch their career
by accidentally calling somebody a "kike" or something? That can
certainly be entertaining. But it doesn't take a comedian to do that.
Just a moron. I remember back in the day Johnny Carson seemed to
intentionally book dim-bulb blondes so he could do double-entre and
everybody could squirm. That was supposed to be humor. Not enough
squirm for a good ol' train-wreck, not enough humor to laugh.

You didn't know? Yahoo and lexis/nexus is as good as "research" gets in
the hot-diggity Information Age (tm). If it's ever been in print--it's
true.
But who's to say it was wrong? Dice seemed reluctant to discuss it.

The only thing I found suspicious about that is that there's a good
chance (in my mind) that Dice's "outburst" was a completely
intentional publicity bid and had nothing to do with emotion or
breaking down.
-Chris
On live TV?
Maaayyyybe if he wants to come back as mean ol' dirty Dice.
Otherwise I wouldn't believe so.
Brian
I think Chris is right. That interview had publicity stunt written all
over it. The Diceman was never provoked at all. He sat there waiting
for a chance to say, "fuck" on live TV and it never came so he had to
invent one. I mean, compared to the shit that he writes and says, what
was so inflammatory about up a rumor that he'd opened up a gym
somewhere? Damn Dicey-boy! Answer the question and slip all the
"fucks" and "cocks" into the routine that you've already had your
interviewer trained to lead you into, then slip the fuck out the back
door.

If so, it hasn't been so successful at getting much publicity. It
apparently happened back when Art Carney died, which was around
November 13th. I hadn't heard a word about it before the posting here.

I heard about it before I found out that Art Carney died. <<Which was
just now.>>
I'd be offended too if someone accused me of working in a gym.

Even if you worked in a gym?
Mate I never even worked up a sweat in a gym.

*IF*.
If you worked in a gym would being accused of same offend you?
The members would most certainly be offended if Brett walked in a gym.
I certainly considered it, but I have never actually done it.

I do it all the time, bro. Just make sure to wipe down your equipment

I think you are referring to "Red the Bartender" when you mention the
"Salty Sailor". Red was a real bartender in NYC who was at the
receiving end of a LOT of crank phone calls and would always freak out
and in that gravelly voice threaten to do all sorts of nasty things to
the crank caller.
Marge Schott and Jackie Puppet were my favorite Bill West voices.
I heard that Billy was unconditionally offered Jackie's position after
Jackie left but that for some reason he considered the Stern Show a
"step down" in his career at that point. That's really sad because
he's the one guy I think would have improved over even Jackie and
instead we've got Artie Lange.

Of those three I definitely like Artie the best.
The old shows are sometimes good, but many seem slow and dated.
For those of us in Japan, thank God for a.b.h-s.
AMEN!
Didn't like Artie at first but I love him now.
Brian
I guess it's all about personal tastes and not really anything to
argue over. I like Artie more now than I did when he first joined the
show but that isn't saying much. Jackie was just a writer who fed
Stern alot of the lines that made what he said funny. He generally
didn't speak unless spoken to (or ragged on) but his hyena-like laugh
in the studio was trademark of the show.
In my opinion Artie Lange is a run of the mill comedian who pipes in
every 2 seconds and does one impression less funny than the next. He
has a very annoying habit of repeating unfunny jokes as if they might
be funnier the second time he tries them. It's most annoying of all
when it's someone else's joke he's repeating which is another bad
habit I've noticed. He also laughs at his own material which most
comedians try to avoid.
He's from a town next to mine in Jersey and only a few years younger
than me. I think he's a nice guy but nowhere near the talent Jackie
was and I don't think they needed another talking head anyway. Howard
and Robin did just fine all those years calling in the rest of the
peanut gallery as they found necessary.
But that's just me.
As for a.b.h-s you don't have to tell me. I've been grabbing the show
for 3 years and cutting commercials and reposting the show for over a
year now and I'm already dreading the oncoming "retirement" in exactly
2 years. I hope it just turns out to be more bluster on Stern's part
and that he resigns another 5 year contract. Maybe Artie will get his
big sitcom gig and they can get Jackie back. Now I'm just dreaming.
:-D
