Madame, Madame, Madame! Where do I start? You’ve been a comic icon for decades: Laugh-In in the 60’s, you did the game show circuit in the 70’s (Match Game, Hollywood Squares), numerous variety specials, you hosted Solid Gold in the 80’s, had your own show “Madame’s Place”, had a long-running Vegas show – Madame Goes to Harlem…

I saw a news article that called you “America’s Raunchiest Comic.” How do you feel about that?
BS: Don Rickles came over to me once and said, “I really liked your HBO special, Bob, but you left out 2 ‘fucks’.” But the truth is, if you listen to the people that have been on HBO in the past year, I don’t say anything nearly as crude. It’s just the opposite thing- they saw me as a Dad on a sitcom for 8 years. People go, “why are you saying that? You’re the Dad!”
Your stuff has always been pretty twisted though- I was watching you on the Young Comedian’s Special from 1985 and you were like, “I love my Mom… and you can too for just $12.”
BS: That’s true, and for awhile because of the economy it went up to about $25, but now it’s back down again, cause times are tough. And she’s gotten older.
Every Tuesday, Mark Pitta continues to turn the 142 Throckmorton Theatre in Mill Valley into one of the best comedy rooms in the country. Last night, Dick Gregory was on the show, and a couple of his fans also dropped by to watch. (Photo by Rick Pulido)
