    I've seen this guy on the just for laughs program a few times and i have a question.
    Does he have something medically wrong with him? Or is he just that weird?

    It's called a 'stage-persona'. He rarely drops it when he does do the rare interview.

    And it's always disappointing when he does. Same with anyone with a strange stage personna. I'm still upset that Bobcat Goldthwait doesn't really talk like that :(

    I saw his brilliant standup show in dublin there a few months ago. Its takes a few minutes to get used to the way he talks but after a while it becomes a great part of his act. The man is a comic genius.

    He used to look weirder when he was younger with that mad haircut. He is of course a comedy legend. And he is a very very intelligent guy too.

    Btw I hope you are all catching Just for Laughs at the moment on Paramount Comedy mon-fri at 23:35. Nothing beats Just for Laughs!

    Saw him in Kilkenny a few years ago - he's hilarious. Killer one liners.
    Just takes a while to get into the voice - it's worth it though.
