We dive into a treasure trove of nostalgic stories from the early days of running comedy clubs in the 1980s, sharing personal encounters with now-famous comedians before they achieved stardom.
• Tom Hanks learning stand-up comedy at our club for his role in Bosom Buddies, with Bob Saget helping write his material
• Dana Carvey sharing the moment he got called to audition for Saturday Night Live while sitting in a hot tub after a show
• A questionable encounter with Tommy Smothers that reflects how entertainment standards have changed since the 1980s
• Organizing a mock political campaign for Pat Paulson at the California State Capitol complete with fake Secret Service and press coverage
• Jay Johnson from the TV show "Soap" delighting audiences with his ventriloquism and spending quality time with Lynn's mother
• Harry Anderson's con-artist personality extending to real life when he sold Scott a "winning" punch board but never paid out
• The special connections formed with comics through bowling nights, boat trips, and after-hours gatherings that made Sacramento clubs unique
Join us next week for the final part of this nostalgic journey through comedy history.
