A natural comedian - love hearing his thoughts in this form

I've had, since 1984, an audience recording of this from my old pal Jim Lombardi (who was attending UCLA film grad school at the time). This version is so much clearer - but the audience version still has its charms if only to hear the audience reactions & laughter. It was a great time to be an HST fan.

Holy shit, thank you so much for this upload!!!

Iran too, but Syria mostly! Or somewhere around that area. In some reasonably huge "unpopulated" area around that area.
