Letterman used to be the only place you could see eccentrics. Now that he doesn't have them on anymore, there's nowhere left. TV is so homogenized and sterilized...it's pathetic. I hate to think that any aliens out there may be judging us by our television programs being beamed out there...

This is the brilliance of Brother Theodore. It is a masterpiece of rant!

Brother Theodore was a total genius!

This is 25 years ago or so- they would NEVER let someone this brilliant on national television today because he's not bland enough.

Got to see him live twice in NY, once in the '70s, once in the '80s. Thank Einstein for saving him!

@revgen123 welcome to the net, please stop SHOUTING your whole post

@nadsblaster I wonder if he was improvising at times...it's not unheard of, comics do it all the time. What an original guy though. Every time I see him, he wipes out every notion that's developed in my head in the meantime (of not seeing him), and I must encounter him fresh again. That's pretty amazing. It's like he's living in the spiritual "now" whenever and wherever he is (was).

Brother T. had a theater in the Village back in the 80's I use to see him all the time walking around and he was the nicest guy you would ever like to meet...

And yet, Dangerfield let Hicks on, while Letterman's producers tried to neuter his act. I never really thought Letterman was truly on the comics' side.
And I think that any aliens out there have been thoroughly scared away from this planet by the recent insurgence of the stay-at-home Farmville-playing lolcat moms who have nothing better to do than copy-paste the same memes 8 million times a week.



This is such abrilliant performance that I had to download it, just in case some wacko from Intellectual Property has youtube delete it.

I knew the Bro...toward the end, he had notebooks full of new material tht he never performed because he couldn't memorize it (I didn't dare to ask him to let me read it, which I now regret). I wonder if his estate's executor ever looked into publishing it?

Your very lucky. I always wanted to see him perform. It's one of my life's biggest regrets that I never made the trip to NYC just to see him
