RIP The Amazing Johnathan

[maumann]

Got to see him at Pier 39 in San Francisco before he got "famous." 63 is way too soon.

You drink a bottle of Windex a day for decades and see how well you fare.

Somebody here, I believe, recommended him, so we went to his show in Vegas. It was at a theater on Harmon, around the corner from Planet Hollywood.
I do not remember one thing about the show. But I do remember we thought it was terrific and I thanked the person who recommended it.

 

[Donny in his element]

I remember him most from the 90s Comedy Central game show “Make Me Laugh.”

Particularly a joke about a prison clown named Bubbles. My adolescent mind that it was a hilarious, bawdy joke.

Pretty sure this is a d_b. He died weeks ago. Also, there is an 'h' in his name. He was born John but changed his name to Johnathan for his act, not knowing how to spell the name.

Maron posted his interview with him. He was given two years to live back in 2015.

Sorry. If the mods could delete this thread, that's fine by me.
