Can we get a preview of the jacket you're going to wear for your Luxor shows?
I had to go today to the guy that makes my jackets, Jonathan Logan, and do the fittings. They make these like a suit of armor. They weigh like 15 pounds apiece, but they're beautiful the way he does 'em. They put lots of big zippers on them and I make them real show jackets, so that when I come out people know this isn't just an off-the-rack motorcycle jacket. 'Specially in a place like Vegas where everything is about glitz, that bling bling.
Were you surprised at your placement as No. 95 on Comedy Central's list of the 100 Greatest Stand-Ups of All Time?
I don't even buy into shows like that. It's all comics putting themselves where they want to be. I did arena shows for many years at a 100 percent sellout rate—20,000, 15,000 people a night. I'm the biggest stand-up comic there ever was as far as straight stand-up goes. I should have been No. 1 if they were really being factual about it .... And what's being planned now is for me to do Giants Stadium. I'd like to see somebody do that other than me. That's going to be the biggest one-man stand-up show ever in our history of American pop culture. And I'm doing it because nobody else ever could. The only one I'm topping is myself.
Have you entertained thoughts of having your own program on satellite radio?
Sirius and XM have both talked to me about that kind of thing. I just don't know if I'm going to have the time to do it, but it would be a fun thing to do, definitely. The things I have coming up are really pretty massive things. I just finished a new CD, Filthy Animal, and the autobiography I'm almost done with is called The Filthy Truth. And it really is the filthy truth, believe me. You'll know it when you read it.
