    How cool! Do you remember the year? There's one of his shows on YouTube in 1972 where he says it's his last show.

    The show I saw was definitely in 1973.

    Thank God Jon Stewart is back. We need more voices like his today. He pretty much hits the nail on the head in this recent bit:

    You might like Mark Russell.

    My 2nd favorite ever. I think I have everything he ever did that was ever put online. I even found "Zoey's interview" on an OLD data disc and uploaded it on my channel since that (and some others) weren't even on YouTube.

    The two travelogues - Roughing It and Innocents Abroad are two-must reads.

    No matter where he goes, his observations are hilarious, on the nose, and unfortunately, timeless, as nothing has changed but the methods by which he'd get around!
