Steven Wright

If you ask just about any alternative comic from the last twenty years to name their influences, one name you’re sure to see come up is Steven Wright. His comedy is slow, steady and sometimes surreal. And he has that signature Steven Wright deadpan delivery that you can never forget. Lately, Wright’s been changing things up a little. He just wrote his first novel. It’s called Harold. He joins us to talk about the new book and how much coffee he needed to drink to write it. Plus, he gets into his comedy career and how he landed his first stand-up spot on the Tonight Show.
