40 years ago? Maybe people’s taste changed in the time between then and now.

Maybe. I wonder if there’s an objective way to know?. If he has any current fans, they probably use Spotify to listen to his comedy. Maybe Spotify has the stats. .

When it comes to Steven Wright’s comedy, I used to be indecisive. Now I’m not so sure.

Back in the 80’s he made a short film called The Appointments of Dennis Jennings. If you watch it, you’ll some faces that would later become very familiar. You do have to have a particular sense of humor to find this funny.

I have no idea how this is car related.

Tom spent considerable time reading several of Wright’s humorous stories on a recent Car Talk podcast, with good effect. Many of them are car related, in a car driving sense. Googling ‘steven wright automobile’ will likely show many of them.
