A Nice Italian Boy and an American Original, Steven Wright

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.   We'd also like to thank our sponsor Book of the Month.  Head over to bookofthemonth.com and use Promo Code ADRI to get your first book for just $9.99.
