Product Description:
For fans of comedy Sam Kinison needs no introduction. His scathing comedy tackled tough topics no other comedian dared to touch. Fed up and disenfranchised with his career as a Pentacostal preacher Sam left the ministry to try his hand at comedy. Almost immediately and thanks in part to the foresight of Rodney Dangerfield who showcased Sam on an HBO special his piercing scream extreme humor and irreverent take on life attracted attention. Containing rare early footage of Sam preaching and performing stand up at the world famous Comedy Store the Award Winning "Why Did We Laugh?" tells the story of a comedic genius who touched a deeper chord in people than most entertainers. Sadly Sam was taken from us far too early yet leaving us with a lasting and unique legacy.Includes excerpts from various stand-up appearances as well as interviews with Rodney Dangerfield Richard Pryor Dennis Miller Larry King Jay Leno Judy Tenuta Beverly D'Angelo Tim Matheson and others. Also appearances from "Larry King Live" "The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson"System Requirements:Running Time 94 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY Rating: NR UPC: 014381371628 Manufacturer No: SMO3716DVD

This is the story of a man who was unafraid to tell the truth. Despite the other snarky comments some have posted, this video is a great introduction to a complex, unappreciated genius who has largely been forgotten by our Britney-besotted generation.

Having rented nearly every Sam Kinison DVD published to date (Jan. '08), I think this video contains most of Sam's best routines. It includes some truly outstanding bits from his early start in Texas, including some which IMHO he never did as well in later performances.
As noted in other reviews, this video tells the story of Sam's life in pseudo documentary format -- from his early years growing up as the son of a preacher, to his start in comedy, certain key events during & after his rise ... Read More

I have a guilty pleasure .... the late comedian Sam Kinison .... the guy who turned from being a screaming preacher to being a screaming stand-up, and if he strikes you the right way, you can laugh til you hurt.
He was really very religious and a great communicator. He was disillusioned with people like Tammy Faye Baker and hubby and their ilk .... the so-called religious people who raised money for shopping malls etc, and so he quit the evangelical circuit to communicate in a very different ... Read More

If you really want to get into Sam's routine(s),don't buy this dvd. As soon as you start enjoying his material, it stops to interview someone else that knew him.
