In 1968 David Steinberg was having a difficult time with his stand-up act in Greenwich Village. He wanted to blow off his last night and an audience of six, but, went on with the show. Fortuitously, a New York Times reviewer was in the audience and published a glowing review in the next day's paper. David was summoned to The Tonight Show and his career took off.
Check out David's appearance on last night's Charlie Rose show (below) and also hear about his lunches with the "Mount Rushmore of Comedy" -- Jack Benny, George Burns and Groucho Marx (fast forward if you don't want to watch Jack Lang).
