Eddie Brill

You know, Steve Carell and Robert Smigel and Louis C.K. And, you know, it was just all the best of the best. And the show only lasted a few episodes. So now Louis C.K. went over to the Letterman show to do some writing. Everyone dispersed into different shows. And Letterman approached the writers and said, do you know a comedian who we need a warm up comic?

So Louis said, yeah, I worked with Eddie Brill at the Dana Carvey show. And and so I met Letterman at a six week trial period and it lasted 17 years. You know, you have to be able to do the job when you get there and you have to work hard. Like I would average between five and six hundred stand up shows a year just running around working sets.

And because you got to love it, you got to marry it, you got to love it and you got to hold it and you got to squeeze it and you got to nurture it. And that's what I did. And I still love it. I love it more. I'm now doing it 40 plus years and I just I can't get enough of that funky stuff.

Right.

Right.

Right.

I had to get that off my chest. I'm sorry. No, it's okay. And it's understandable. The comics, we talk about it all the time. You know, the whole idea of writing comedy and performing it and trying it out You know, there was very few people who are amazing at it. You know, like Richard Pryor, George Carlin, Lily Tomlin, Jonathan Winters from that era. And then before them, Jack Benny.

And then before that, Charlie Chaplin. And it's Mark Twain before that. And comedy consistently goes through time. What's happening now, the pandemic hit and you're at home and you can't really do stand up in front of a crowd, which is the way it's supposed to be done. So what someone does is they they use their brains to create this Internet comedy.

And it's different from standup comedy because you're just using the internet. So it's nothing for me to be jealous of, but what a smart person would do who has popularity, who has 2 million followers or whatever, they take five of their friends who are good standups and go on the road. And the MC who's popular and brings in the crowd goes up on stage and just chats.
