Borked have you seen him live yet? It's actually 'worse' than that. At one show I saw in Radio City he did about 10 minutes of improv about a lady in the front row who wore a coat with a velvet collar. From what he was saying, there was no way he could have had that bit rehearsed and it was hysterical. He has a unique way of pairing up seemingly mismatched facts from a really broad area of expertise. I've also seen him bomb doing a bit like that, but nobody in the audience minded... it just gets brushed off as one failed bit out of hundreds during a show. He really is one of the best live performers. Him and Doug Stanhope. They couldn't be more different from each other, or more funny. ;)
