Oh lord how much more Kinison can I take. It just seems weird how Sam kissed Howard's rear end so much. I was almost sick from all the egos in these replays. It also seems the constant golf clap also ended around 1990. This is all stuff from way before I ever listened to the show so it's a bit interesting I guess.

They covered Sam well enough in History of Howard Stern (Rebel Rebel) and it was too bad they didn't go into detail about how he hosed up and lost the role of the Ghost of Christmas Past in "Scrooged" to Buster Poindexter.

We're so desensitized to the shock part of Howard's radio in the 80s that it's just not enjoyable to listen to at all. What he did at the time was groundbreaking stuff but it wasn't timeless, it was basically just shock for the sake of shock. His early 90s-Artie era stuff is the timeless material that will never get old to listen to, at least for me. Also I could listen to Artie do Bubba impersonations all day long. Listening to the day when Sal fell off the stage when most of the crew went down to Florida to do stuff with Bubba and it's just hilarious.

Kinison's real life preacher stuff was more interesting than his stand-up (which sucks), it demonstrates how a person can learn to speak to a crowd like one of those nutjobs. There are and were many superior comedians to Kinison, Howards obession with him annoys me. Its probably just cos he did the show.

Let's be fair--and I'm a Sam Kinison fan--but he wouldn't have made it out of the '90s intact. If he had lived, he would have watered down his performance so much that it wouldn't have been him. Kinison's main power was his raw anger, and he was already trending towards bigotry before he was killed. He wouldn't have fit into the '90s schema, especially when the idea of 'shock' suddenly changed when the Internet was bringing unfiltered pornography into households. I think that's what hosed Howard as well. Being edgy in public was a big deal, but as soon as the public had a communal but anonymous way to express those feelings, the shock jock role became obsolete. How edgy is 'Homocop' when it can take you a matter of seconds to find something infinitely more foul and depraved? The move to Sirius showed how infantile the censorship was, but also how much various comedians needed it as something to play off of. In a strange way, Howard needed that leash so his material would remain edgy. Without it, he's just a complacent comedian who has a bigger vocabulary but less reason to use it. That goes for a lot of shock jocks who run on empty when they don't have a governmental parent to fight against. It takes a special sort of man who can do it in this environment and do it well by exploring his own dark psyche and making the material that comes from that entertaining. Unfortunately for Howard, Artie is doing his own thing right now.

I think Kinison represents the time in Howard's career where he was the most happy: a convenient enemy to fight against that would value his humor simply because it stood opposite, and his music was the most popular thing in the world at that point. And that came to an end and Howard--as you can see by his wig--simply can't change or let go.

Kinison was the first person to bring Stern into his celebrity status. Because of Sam, Howard started being more of a rock star and not just some lovely morning show DJ.

I think the nicest thing about switching to Sirius was everyone stopped saying "friend of the family" all the time. It was the only legal curse word Howard had, a lot of his shows are really hard to listen too with that mentality and the lovely DJ gimmicks like the clapping and morning circus feeling, combined with the "free air" troglodytes that would call up just to heckle black people, it was some pretty lovely radio for awhile.

Agreed. I loved Billy West on the show but when he did the Marge Schott thing and used the n word every two minutes it got less funny.

You might suffer from "I don't get Bill Hicks/George Carlin" and heard all their bits watered down and poorly told by your friends and other hacks. Sam had a lot of interesting points nobody else was bringing up at the time really, or in that manner. So you see a lot of what he did in comedy and when you go back to the source, sometimes you forget who made who. Also Kinison's stand up is kind of solidly late 80 early 90s, no climbing out of that one.

He went from being a special, unique voice in stand-up comedy, really honestly edgy, to being a fat weirdo wannabe rock star that told incessant human being and black jokes, when he wasn't too loving drunk to perform, as his fame increased. He used to accuse Dice of stealing his schtick, which you could argue one way or another in my opinion, to doing a bad watered down version of Dice's terrible act. He was as charismatic a human being as there ever was, and pretty fairly talented on top of that, but his fame and ego and love of mood altering substances collided in the worst possible way. It would have been interesting to see what came of Sam if he'd ever cleaned himself up, but there you go. I like that story about Sam going out to dinner with Howard, and Sam starts talking to Howard about adopting a healthy diet like him. So he ordered two servings of creamed spinach. Edit: By the way, clowns, "Raw Nerve" is now in Netflix instant watch. It's pretty good. DangerDummy! fucked around with this message at 04:05 on Apr 9, 2012 |

When listening to Kinison week the best parts where when Gilbert Gottfried was sitting in. It's funny how he sounds the exact same now. In fact, the funniest shows I ever heard where when Gilbert, Artie and Howard would stretch out the news by just bullshitting around for half an hour straight.

Either that or pulling a Willy Aames on Celebrity Fit Club. I can't help but think that a clearheaded Sam Kinison might've done some great stuff with the benefit of a couple crazy decades behind him, but a Sam/Dice seventh comeback tour reality show seems a hell of a lot more probable.

Kinison was one of those guys that started to redefine stand up in the 80s and along with Dice, was the first "rock star" comedian. Carlin, Steve Martin and Robin Williams were the last ones to be able sell out arenas in the late 70s and very early 80s. His routine changed quite a bit but that also went along with what he was into at the time. He was heavy into drugs and partying and the performance part took a backseat. If he had lived, I could see him being more of a writer but he definitely would have toured the reality show circuit. I'm sure at some point he would have found religion again too.
