Steven is the best!! Watching football on tv with his 100 year old grandpa. Team scores a touchdown. They showed the replay and he thought they scored again. Great interview!!!!!

I think the most memorable joke he told was when he said he likes to turn a job interview around. He asked the interviewer "If you were driving in your car faster than the speed of light, and you turned on your headlights, would they do anything?" Interviewer says "I don't know." Then Wright says, "then I don't want to work for you."

(Steven Wright in the back of a cop car looking out the window) "Man it always snows on my birthday" Cop" today's your birthday"? Steven: "no. I just wanted to prove the primitive linear thinking you'd have by taking those two facts and coming to that conclusion" One of my favorite bits ever.

Great description

Every time I have seen or heard Steven Wright he ends up making me hurt from laughter. I'm grateful that he has a comedy career that I can listen to and watch.

had no clue who he was till i pressed play and heard his voice... instantly "The DJ from Reservoir Dogs"

absolute legend right here, great guest choice joe.

Hes a mastermind, only a few are like him. Loved norm macdonald too. r.i.p

A true master wordsmith! Have always enjoyed his timing and delivery!!

That negative space analogy is great. He's noticing the relationship between two things in the negative space between them because he's trying to portray what he sees accurately.

From “Drawing on the right side of the brain” by Betty Edwards. It’s actually one of the first lessons one gives a young artist; accurately portraying spacial relationships.

​@@GingerPeacenikI was thinking the same thing because I have her book and Betty demonstrates how a turkey or a chair appears like magic by seeing the negative space. Steven sees situations with his raidar, and can connect his thoughts in a negative space way. Many have to wait for the brain to switch to get his jokes. Kinda like this ole brain twister, There was a Horrible plane crash on the border of Canada, and the United States. It was tragic, plane just fell apart, yea really bad indeed. Ya know what's the worst thing about it, they just couldn't decide where to bury the survivors, in the states or Canada. Someone hearing that may get the twist but a lot wont. I love Zanny humour and now it makes sense in a visual and linguistic way. Thanks for the great connection my friend

That was brilliant. Made Joe feel stupid for never noticing the space between the cup. THAT'S his problem at standup.

I had a dream last night that aliens took all the things in Joe Rogans studio. And replaced them with exact duplicates. Best. Comic. Ever.

One of my absolute favorite comedians, I saw him perform in Rapid City South Dakota of all places a few years ago. I never laughed so hard in my life.

I love listening to my old material. I still crack myself up.

Steven's voice would be perfect for an animated bong.

Steven Wright is one of my favorite comedians of all time. He is up there with the legends like Carlin, Pryor, Bruce, etc.

I love how his view of success changed after that conversation, perspective is so important

"Why is the alphabet in that order? Is it because of that song?" Some of the funniest words to ever have been spoken. Long live Steven Wright.

My favorite one from Steven Wright is: "I GOT HOME AND EVERYTHING IN MY APARTMENT WAS STOLEN AND REPLACED WITH AN EXACT REPLICA..

Steven has always entertained. It was a blessing growing up with you, bro.

This is the most exited I have ever seen Steven Wright be talking about anything.
