Remembering comedian Richard Jeni

MONDAY 8/21/11- Richard Jeni was voted one of the '100 Greatest Stand-Ups of All Time' by Comedy Central and was named Best Male Stand-Up Comic by the American Comedy Awards. His five cable stand-up specials included three for HBO, and two for Showtime, Boy from New York City (1990) and Richard Jeni: Crazy from The Heat (1992). Jeni also starred in his own television series “Platypus Man” and co-starred opposite Jim Carrey in the 1994 blockbuster hit "The Mask." Following a period of severe depression, Richard committed suicide in 2007

Today’s Guests: Jeff Abraham is one of the leading publicists for America's top comedians, and was Richard's publicist for the last 10 years of his life. Mary Colangelo is Richard's sister and had a lot to do with the release of the DVD: RICHARD JENI: THE BEACH CROWD
