A lot of comedians, especially the unfunniest, come across as damaged people who took to trying to be funny as a self defense.

How did he manage to convince somebody to let him start in something 25 odd years later?

She was a huge factor in many careers. Pauli’s just wheeeeeeezed his way into the business thanks to his name.

Actually he’s not.

But his mom owns the Comedy Store in Hollywood. That’s a big leg up.

It's amazing to me how certain people have had entertainment careers. He is certainly close to the top of the list of BAD actors.

My loathing goes back to his MTV days of the late 80s, and the occasional guest spot or preview since.

He's one of many reasons I only use my TV to watch carefully selected films and ice hockey.

Not even the cliched "jock who peaked in high school", but more like a sad, confused little kid.
