Tom is a legendary figure in the world of stand up comedy and entertainment: He was one of the first class members at The Comedy Store in LA (featured in the recent Showtime documentary, along with pals Robin Williams, David Letterman, Jay Leno, Michael Keaton) and got his big break when he became a favorite of Johnny Carson's Tonight Show.
