  • Steven Wright makes it weird!
    Master of the deadpan, Steven Wright is a comedy legend whose absurd, one-liner style has influenced generations. From his Oscar-winning short film The Appointments of Dennis Jennings to his iconic appearances on The Tonight Show, Wright has carved out a unique space in comedy, blending surrealism with a monotone delivery that leaves audiences in stitches. Whether he’s talking about the speed of dark or pondering life’s quirks, Wright’s offbeat brilliance proves that comedy doesn’t have to shout to make a lasting impact.

    I saw Steven Wright in Boston once. Halfway through his set he stopped and said, "I just remembered, my mother told me never to talk to strangers." and then walked off stage. And then he peeked back around the curtain and just smiled. Absolute legend!

    Love the succinct, ninja precision delivery of his observations, and wit.
    I saw him live in Vegas, (up close, second row-ish, center) I felt so guilty, because my brain is on a delay.
    So, he’d deliver - no reaction, then into the next joke - Oh! 😂 the previous one just clicked.
    If the whole audience was like me, how can he tell the joke landed, as opposed to the audience playing mental catch-up?
    Rest assured that night in Vegas, the audience weren’t all like me, and the jokes all worked, even if they didn’t land in the right order for me.😄
    Love Steven Wright!

    I just left YMH for this. Steven Wright was the first comedian i remember ever listening to. My mother had a cassette of his that i loved, and would listen to ALL THE TIME. She also had Robin Williams and Seinfeld on tape, and rhose were my introductions to comedy as a kid who grew up in the 90s. My uncle showed me Carlin, and next thing i knew, i was obsessed with all things comedy.
    Thanks for this, i needed it

    One of my favorite things is that there's this scene in the Jim Jarmush movie Coffee and Cigarettes with Steven Wright and Roberto Benigni that's hilarious as it is, but what cracks me up is that Steven speaks fluent Italian in real life and they play themselves but it's never brought up and I feel like that's how it would go in real life anyway. Cheers from Boston! ❤

    I can't believe nobody has commented on this already:
    Pete, you are channeling Louis CK's airplane bit from his Conan interview 13 years ago. I honestly think it got into your subconscious and you thought you made it up, but you just adopted his bit.
    At 8:45 in this video...
    - You say that when we're in an airplane we're "sitting in the sky"
    - You paint a picture of how spoiled airplane passengers are when experiencing "the miracle that's happening to them"
    - You act out how passengers should be screaming in amazement when flying
    At two minutes and fifty-five seconds into Louis' Conan interview...
    - Louis paints a picture of how spoiled we are at "the miracle of human flight"
    - He acts out how passengers should be screaming in amazement when flying
    - He says passengers are "sitting in a chair in the sky."

    Love what you're doing, Pete! Steven Wright is an absolute legend of the genre, and it’s incredible to see how he’s remained a towering figure in comedy throughout his career.
    P.S. Thank you for continuing to champion language and comedy with such passion. I just finished watching Crashing, and I was blown away by the quality of the writing. I’ve even written a full paragraph and a top 10 list on why Crashing is a perfect watch for fans of Curb Your Enthusiasm. You did an incredible job capturing the painfully real and awkward moments that life throws at us. Bravo!

    The point you made about this being something "new" is why I'm not worried about AI "ruining art". I'm sure AI will make a lot of entertaining things, but there are a lot of things it won't make which humans will, and those things always can and should and will exist. Just as photography didn't end painting, and chainsaws didn't cancel axes, and podcasts didn't end talkshows.

    our experience of consciousness is an illusion. our experience of infinity is an illusion. that doesn't mean those concepts don't "exist" or that there's no reality behind them but it is important to realize that the essence of our understanding of what they are is illusory. we may not have any access to what these things really are, if they are at all. but to the original question, yes, pepsi is in fact fine. it is as fine as anything can be.
