He killed it. One of, if not the best, stand up guys ever. His delivery, timing and emphasis are unparalleled.

My favorite stand-up of all time

I think this is actually from the Jan. 13, 1989 episode. Robert had much bigger hair in the 1991 appearances, and the set had Christmas decorations. Robert also mentions not being on for a while (he did not appear between Oct. 1987 and Jan. 1989). He also mentions the upcoming 21st anniversary of his debut on the show (which was 1968)

Great stuff. The crowd didn’t get 90 percent of his stuff.
Like an early robin williams.
