One of Comedy Central’s Top 100 Stand-Up Comedians of All
Time, award-winning dramatic actor, and an internet pioneer,
Kevin Pollak has done it all for thirty years and is ready
to spill the beans. Best known for performances in A Few
Good Men and The Usual Suspects, he shares
never-before-heard stories of film legends like De Niro,
Hanks, Howard, Lemon, Loren, Lucas, Martin, Mathau, Reiner,
Scorcese, Singer, Willis, and more. He turned down his first
invitation to do stand-up on The Tonight Show because
he knew that he’d have a bigger impact if he sat next to
Johnny instead of performing onstage. When he gambled for a
spot on the most coveted couch in showbiz, he had no agent,
no auditions, no prospects. But his gut was right: A year
later, his first sit with the king of late night led to
three visits a year, every year, until Carson retired. Now a
new media entrepreneur, Pollak is laughing proof that you
can do anything you want—except have a rational conversation
with Rip Torn, who’s an evil, paranoid $#!%.
