Description

Academy Award winning and Emmy- and Grammy-nominated Steven Wright has pushed comedic boundaries in film, television and live stage with his skewed view of the world. Before his Tonight Show debut in 1982 (which caused such a stir, Johnny Carson invited him back to perform again within a week), Steven was a curious boy growing up in Burlington, Massachusetts. In this week's episode, Steven takes us back to little league baseball games and to his defining moments as a renowned comic. Steven has made us laugh for decades, but most importantly, he's made us think.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
