Saw him live in California.
Just after he had cleaned up his act and stopped drinking and using drugs.
Was killed shortly there after when he was involved in a car crash with a drunk driver.
Funny guy.
The “Tonight Show” with Letterman? I don’t think so.
After being pulled from his car after having a serious accident, Sam Kinison had a conversation with a person nobody else could see, saying “I don’t want to die. I don’t want to die.”, he paused, then asked “But why?”. After another pause, his friend heard him clearly say: “Okay, okay, okay.”
I met Sam at a Houston comedy club. A buddy and I were watching him onstage. He was not real famous at the time so we didn’t know him at all. I’m not sure how it came about, there was alcohol involved, but at some point Sam and my buddy are rolling on the floor attempting to be the crap out of each other. Long story. We got to know him pretty well after that. At one point he did something and got thrown out of the club. He went across the street, climbed up on a 7-11 sign and “crucified” himself until they let him back in to the club.
He was really a pretty nice and regular guy...
Wow that was so frigging funny!!!
And for a lot of us he is absolutely right....the stats don’t lie...
Always liked Sam...he was and always will be a straight shooter.
LOL
you live in the desert!!

I like the “Silent Bob” look - I’d love to know if Kevin Smith ripped it off from him.
First irony of Kennisons passing. I’d seen him at the universal amphitheater a few years before his death and a part of his routine then was about marriage and in it he asks God to strike him dead if he ever gets married. I don’t think he was 6 months in when he died.
