    When you tell others what others want to hear, they're never going to hear you. All 1 million of them. But when you tell others what you want to say, they will only hear what you have to say. And wether its one or 1 million, you know your audience is as original as you are. And that is priceless.

The guy who comes in on Tuesday in a t shirt and shorts already has 2.”

      Yeah, I mean, he said in this interview he's talked to Rickles. Yet, he laughed at Mitch, just shooting the shit. Goes to show how funny Hedberg was. And props to this guy, doing his thing, he just was like, "I don't care how famous anyone is, I want to talk to people that make me laugh." Where other Comedians tell long stories and build up suspense while dispensing wisdom; Mitch Hedberg got on stage every night and told jokes. When you adjust his success for that hell of a handicap, there's no one even in the same ball park as Mitch Hedberg.

    Mitch is one of the greats. If I remember correctly, he was cooking at a place called Haggerty's in Boca Raton, FL. They started doing comedy nights and Mitch did his first open mic there. A few days later or maybe a week later he drove 45 minutes north to the Comedy Corner in West Palm Beach. I"m pretty sure I saw Mitch his second time ever on stage. He did a bunch of spots at the Tuesday night Comedy Corner open mic night over the next few months and then he disappeared. A few years later I started hearing other comics quoting his lines and they were incredible. Then I saw him on Letterman and I couldn't believe how great he had become. He cracked the code and figured it out. Mitch is one of the all time comedy originals.

      Well, same difference, right? They all were all love with H. : / But at least they entertained so many, and continue to do so even in death.
      I happened across Jim’s grave during my little vacation to Paris two decades ago. The sad state of his grave really showed just little respect hoodlums have for the dead. One would be absolutely amazed that it was the grave of a fallen rockstar. It looked nothing like it does on the wiki...
      It looked like someone had swept up the floor of some po-dunk bar, and dumped some that on his grave - cigarette butts and empty packs, broken empty alcohol bottles, etc.. The cement rectangular frame was hugely cracked apart, the dirt was all dried out like desert ground, and there was sparse dead weeds on top. Very sad.
      I would’ve never thought that someone who was adored by a generation in life not all that long ago would be laid to rest in a grave that doesn’t seem to be maintained at all.

    nice work, Barry. this has to be one of the best TV show interviews of a comic in existence. Barry caught & maintained Mitch’s attention & respect, because he was listening, processing and tossing it back & forth…not just knocking out a list of generic questions to fill time. it was a conversation between 2 strangers that seem to have parted as pals.
    I’ve been protective of Mitch (like many of you here) since the 1st set I saw/heard him do, up to present day; seeing a host honestly enjoy their time with Mitchell is refreshing; it was sincere.
    I hadn’t seen this interview/spotlight until now, so I just got fresh Mitch Hedberg content in 2023…and that’s Proof that there is a God.
    I watched this while my Kitchen Clock/Power Interruption Indicator/Non-Portable SpaceHeater/Sometimes Makes the House Smell Funny Machine/Baker cooked my handmade pizza. it was no half-assed commitment. yeast was involved.

    I used to listen to Bob and Tom out of Indy.Mitch would call in once in a while.Then i discovered his great different humor.And when i had a chance to go see him live......i couldn't get off work.Then Bob and Tom one morning on my way to work said.....Mitch had passed because of drugs.......I was very sad and angry.And i blame his wife for not helping him better. RIP Mitch Lee Hedberg.Now he lays next to his mom Mary for eternity up in St. Paul ,Minn.

      @@ILLSmak stroken like someone who has never been an opiate addict He said he Only moved to a place with a methadone clinic and one of the stand up things and it's like if you don't know what that's like then you are speaking idealistically. I can assure you he probably did not intend to die when he died from an opiate overdose. He probably just overdosed on opiates and maybe depression contributed to why he used opiates but I don't think he was a miserable person and I don't think there was any intentionality behind him dying anymore than there is behind. If you ate extra mustard on your sandwich, you wouldn't be because you couldn't stand reality and I think that's a very romantic view that people who don't understand opiate addiction are able to have because of their innocence in this area. I won't say ignorance cuz that's a rude word. I'd rather everyone we're innocent about opiates. It was a nightmare on Earth for me and I didn't even do opiate a new or opiates. I sold it on online vitamin shops and I became addicted to it for seven years and almost lost my family and it's just pretty damn serious actually

    16:53 this guy is a morning news anchor conducting an interview for an afternoon segment. That tip of the day was not entirely scripted, but rather written at the last minute based on his overall interaction with the guest. If you factor in how much more time they spent off camera, you can't deny they had some sort of genuine conversation that made him change his tune in time for tuning in to the last part of the show.
