TIL that Steven Wright is still alive.

My favorite joke of his. - I picked up a hitchhiker. For a while, we rode in silence. Finally, I said "Put your seatbelt on. I want to try something...I saw it in a cartoon, but I think I can do it."

I 100% thought he was part of the 27 club or something. How did he fade into obscurity for so long?!

You’re thinking of Mitch Hedberg? He’s not obscure. He’s just part of a comedy world that isn’t podcasting twice a week. A lot of comedians exists just doing their local circuit.

🤣🤣🤣 I totally mixed them up. The way he was dead panning the joke made me think of Mitch.
