Albert Brooks & Johnny Carson

I first saw Albert Brooks doing stand up on the Dean Martin Show in the late ‘60’s. He was a hilarious stand up comic and kind of invented the “anti comedy” stylings that Andy Kaufman, David Letterman and Steve Martin went on to practice. He stopped doing stand up once he started doing movies, but he would still do inventive bits when he would appear on the Tonight Show and he’d always crack Johnny up. This is one of my favorite bits. I love Albert Brooks in movies and think he’s a genius, but part of me wishes he still did stand up. Heeeeere’s Johnny and Albert!
