I watched your Comedy Central Special last night. My husband thinks I’m strange because I never laugh out loud at anything. I only say “that’s funny.” You made me laugh out loud. Hope you can make it to Birmingham, Alabama sometime. Would love to see you live.

John,

My wife, my friends and I just saw your show in Columbus Ohio. As funny as you were, we were put off by the woman who kept texting during your set. I don’t want to sound high and mighty but all we could think was “what the hell?” Maybe I am ignorant to some situation that requires texting during a stand up show, but I doubt it.

With that said, your show was great. We all had a good time, and hope you enjoy your stay here in Columbus.

Thanks again.

JFK’s last tweet: Nice day for a parade, think I’ll put the top down.

Kurt Cobane’s last tweet: Courtney Love is driving me crazy, I have to find a way to get out of this relationship.

When I was hired in Boston by radio station WEEI AM, I was the first woman talk show host with a full time call-in show (May 1972).

People would call me all the time and ask how they could get in to the radio business.
Many of them were Boston natives with the regional accent that goes with it.
I used to tell them:

“First of all, you have to be born SOMEWHERE ELSE!”

However, with the success of many politicians and performers with a variety of accents and even speech impediments, guess that is no longer operative now.

Here’s the dish on my 50 years in broadcasting and how Larry King impacted it:

You forgot to mention “DON’T SUCK” even if you do.

Great post John. I think “Don’t suck” is the best advice for any comic. Some comics don’t get that their first priority is to be funny. It doesn’t necessarily matter how you do it, just be funny. Great list, man.

Wholeheartedly agree with #8. I don’t have any clubs near me as I live in a cornfield but I’ve been doing some acting and getting on stage to help out. It builds confidence a lot. Just curious John but have you seen the documentary Comedian w/ Jerry Seinfeld, Orny Adams? I learned a lot about comedy from that.
