Comic Website of the Day

Pete Barbutti holds (and I guess will always hold) the record for the most stand-up appearances on The Tonight Show back in the Carson era. Johnny loved the way Pete told a story and Johnny's band loved the rather warped things Pete would do with music — like pounding out a tune with his nose or playing a song on the cigar. As I found out when I got to know him a few years ago, Pete's an even better storyteller off-stage. You can savor a few samples over at his website. If you have two minutes (and RealPlayer installed), enjoy the joke about The Pig With the Wooden Leg. Matter of fact, enjoy any of the jokes he has posted and if you can find the page of video clips, watch Pete in action on The Tonight Show. He sure makes me laugh.
