    My favourite Mitch Hedberg joke: “I saw a commercial on late night TV, it said, "Forget everything you know about slipcovers." So I did. And it was a load off my mind. Then the commercial tried to sell me slipcovers, but I didn't know what the hell they were!”

      Interesting that you put Richard Lewis up there, he's amazing. I got to see him once live doing a full set when I was a teenager a long time ago. I remember it being hilarious. He brought notes that he'd refer to, like an outline, that he'd look at occasionally on the podium. But here's the funny thing.... he'd go off on a tangent, then he'd go off on another tangent off the first tangent, and he'd do this a few times (insanely hilarious of course), then when he was completely off course he'd re-orient himself by glancing back at his outline 😂
      A unique process which worked perfectly. Stephen Wright, well he's the king of the deadpan delivery. Mitch had the straightforward comedy lines but a much more fun cadence and repoire with the audience.
      Good picks all!

    I used to think he looked down because his eyes were sensitive to bright stsge lights. It makes sense now that I learned he had stage fright. Later he probably wore the sun glasses to make it seem like he was just light sensitive.

      It was the childlike vibe Mitch gave off...people generally like pineapple and so did Mitch. The fact that Mitch thought it was funny just to say that and stop made it funny. It's simple but for him it worked.

    HA! Hedberg is fuuny, but some of his jokes go over my head, like the Blackjack and duck jokes. I don't play cards so that's probably why. What's up with the 10, 2, and king maybe later

    As always, Letterman gives serious thought to introducing his guest “Please welcome, the very funny, Mitch Hedberg”. Next week maybe expect, “Please welcome, the good singer, Paul McCartney” or “the good fighter, Mike Tyson”.

    as a boomer, he has a few funny ones, but i don't get it, the same way as my parents didn't get Steve Martin in the 1970's
