Ready for some weekend laughs? Scott Edwards delivers comedy gold with headliner Ronnie Kenny, a comedian whose impressive resume includes serving as house emcee at major clubs nationwide and numerous television appearances.

Kenny wastes no time connecting with audiences through his hilarious take on exercise avoidance. "Today I did a sit-up. Have you tried one of those lately? I got real lightheaded. I stopped that immediately, boy. I got up, grabbed a beer and a cigarette and laid back down again." His self-deprecating humor strikes a chord with anyone who's ever made half-hearted attempts at fitness.

The comedian then launches into a brilliant comparison of whiskey drinkers versus beer drinkers when confronted by police, showcasing whiskey drinkers' quick-witted excuses ("This is a stealth car. I bought it from the Air Force") against beer drinkers' hilariously incriminating honesty ("Of course I was speeding. I'm out of beer"). Kenny's observational skills shine brightest when tackling laws against drunk bicycle riding, where he imagines ridiculous PSA campaigns: "Friends don't let friends pedal drunk." His expert timing and delivery transform everyday absurdities into comedy gold.

Scott Edwards wraps up this bite-sized comedy treat by praising Kenny as "always great with audiences, always very funny."

Looking to laugh your way into 2021? You've found the perfect remedy for the chaos of 2020!

This special episode of "Stand-Up Comedy, Your Host and Emcee" showcases four legendary comedians who all share one thing in common—they were headliners at Laughs Unlimited before some achieved national fame. Host Scott Edwards brings together a fantastic comedy cocktail of different styles, voices, and approaches to humor that demonstrates the incredible diversity of stand-up comedy.

First up is Jeff Jena with his brutally honest reflections on turning 40 and realizing certain dreams will never happen. His observations about finances—how we're all just "cash redistribution centers" who always need "$40 more bucks a week"—will have you nodding in recognition while laughing out loud.

Next comes a rare treat: Jay Leno appears both in a vintage TV commercial promoting his Laughs Unlimited appearance and in a segment from David Letterman's show where he plugs his upcoming Sacramento shows. His masterful delivery about American cars and 80s television shows reminds us why he became a household name.

Steve Smith follows with political comedy that remains surprisingly fresh nearly thirty years later. His comparison of presidents to the Seven Dwarfs and his breakdown of airline travel anxieties showcase his talent for finding humor in everyday experiences we all recognize.

Closing out the showcase is Dennis Miller with one of his trademark intellectual rants about daytime television from his 2000 recording "I Rant, Therefore I Am." His vocabulary-rich takedown of talk shows demonstrates why he carved out such a unique space in comedy.

Whether you prefer observational humor, political commentary, or highbrow rants, this episode delivers something to make everyone smile—exactly what we need to start a new year. Subscribe now to catch new episodes every Sunday throughout 2021 and experience more comedy legends, both famous and up-and-coming!

Step into a comedy time machine with this remarkable bonus episode featuring a blast from the comedy past! Discovered deep in the Laughs Unlimited archives, we present a rare 1989 television interview with comedy legend Jeff Altman, conducted by fellow comedian Jack Gallagher on the local Sacramento show "TV Light."

Jeff Altman, whose face and voice became familiar to millions through his numerous appearances on "Late Night with David Letterman," his memorable commercials, and roles in various TV shows and movies, displays the sharp wit and observational humor that made him a standout performer of his era. The chemistry between Altman and Gallagher creates a masterclass in comedic timing as they riff on shared experiences in the entertainment industry, including a moment when they both auditioned for—and lost—the same role at ABC.

The interview captures a fascinating slice of late-80s comedy as Altman tackles the then-current Jim Baker televangelist scandal with biting impressions and commentary. His hilarious recounting of European travel adventures culminates in his adoption of an alias as "Jeff Altman, the Dog Man of Chamonix" to navigate cultural differences in humor—a story that showcases his brilliant character work and storytelling abilities. For comedy historians and enthusiasts alike, this archival footage provides not just laughs but context for understanding how comedy has evolved while maintaining its essential elements.

Whether you're a longtime Jeff Altman fan or discovering his work for the first time, this episode offers a rare glimpse into comedy history. Remember to subscribe, leave a review, and share your thoughts about which comedy legends you'd like to see featured from our archives next!
