“I’m Like A Receptionist For My Mind” - Steven Wright, After A Few Cups Of Coffee

He's getting old :(

“I invented something, it’s so advanced you don’t even need it” Wright on Coco

What a lovely fellow.

One bit that I love , ‘I’m a vegetarian not because I don’t like meat. It’s because I hate plants.’

Four years ago….no….it was yesterday.

I am surprised that Colbert didn’t go after him with his last name having a “W” in it. What a waste of ink and time. Lmao.

Cool! I love Stephen Colbert. Give us more of that Pfizer dance! SO good!

Steven is GOD!

"I think coffee is one of the best things about being alive." - Steven Wright

"Coffee is one of the greatest things about being alive." - SW dropping the knowledge.

Colbert should have pointed out that Mr. Wright's last name is bad for the environment given that the W is superfluous.

Imagine if Steven smoked the weed and wrote jokes!!!

"I fell in love with my dental hygienist. Now I eat a bag of Oreos while I'm sitting in the waiting room".

Dang, didn't know he was still kicking!

I couldn't fix your brakes so Iade your horn louder

Living legend

Sometimes I like to read music....😂 ahahaha!!

Stephen Wright, I've loved you -and your work! - ever since I saw your first appearance on the Tonight Show (The Carson version). YOu were nervous but it was delightful and hilarious! Ha, and then Colbert pulls out a photo of that life-changing night (for me, too! Why? You ask. Why? why, I fell in long-term love with you.. ) Great coffee-joke, but all in the timing. . .

"The present is a past factory"

That caught my attention. It's somewhat overshadowed by the hilarious comment about Jesus' love, but, dang there's something really catchy and with that dash / frisson of the insightful that briefly feels like at least a slightly better understanding of what "now" is.

Love Mr Wright. If ever a chance were to arise for a 'revival' of the "Even Stev/phen" segment from The Daily Show, wherein Mr Wright were included (Even Steph/vens ?)... then I'd really know Jesus loves me! 😄

"The ending of the Cold War is what caused global warming." - Steven Wright

Comedy genius
🌟🌟🌟🧠🧠🧠😆😂😅

"I took a lie detector test once."
"No I didn't..."

loving all the Steven Wright jokes in the comments 😂 - one of my faves: "I almost had a psychic girlfriend... but she left me before we met"

absolute icon. steven wright is the GOAT!

HIs cameo as the insane prop plane pilot in "So I Married an Axe Murderer" is still the single greatest comedy cameo in movie history, in my opinion.

People think I'm lazy but the reality is I'm going for that Stephen Wright look, which takes a lot of work.

"You know when you lean back in a chair, lose your balance at at the last second catch yourself? I feel like that all the time." -- Steven Wright 🤪

This might be the best comments section I've seen! Hilarious!

I remember this one from Steven Wright: “I never realized I’d been a C-section baby until someone pointed out that when I leave a party, I always skip the door and climb out a window instead.”

Oh, my goodness! I saw Steven Wright’s debut on Carson in 1982. I remember thinking he had a distinctive sense of humor.

Just so great 🙏

“I went to a restaurant that had a big sign out front: ‘OPEN 24 HOURS.’ Then I get there and the guy’s locking the place up. I said ‘What gives? The sign says OPEN 24 HOURS.’ The guy looks at me and says “Yeah, but not in a row.” 😅 Wright is a genius.

I still remember Steven as a kid,, very sharp guy... I was old back then but still have a good memory of it ..

"One time I bought a package of instant water....."

Instant water!!!😂

Love Wright, amazing comic. Colbert sure loves reminding everyone of his Christian faith. Seems bizarre. Remember when religion and politics were left out of casual conversation. Those were the days. Colbert is a hack. Wright is a legend.

He's iconic, and I love to see what makes a comedian laugh.

Comedians like Steven don't come along too often. Mitch Hedberg was like that...dry witty weird humor on views in life. He made you think...left field was his comfort zone. Thankyou for being a deadpan genius! Very funny my friend...still today! 😅

Who is this guy and why does he look like he's just woken up, shrunken after 20 years? Is no one looking after him? Poor old guy.

I saw Steven at Carolines in NYC 1986. So funny.

Steven Wright at Ontario Place Forum. 👀

Before Conservatives sold it.

I went to a party the other day.
Wait......that wasn't me.

Ever notice we park in a driveway & drive on a parkway? 🤣 I hope Steven wills his brain to Harvard!😉

I had a box of powdered water.....but didn't know what to add to it. Thank you Mr. Wright.

"The present is a past factory."
"Jesus loves you because he doesn't know you."
"I have a friend who bought an electric blanket, then an electric guitar, then an electric chair and I haven't heard from him."
"Sometimes I like to read music and listen to books on tape."

Pure. Genius.

Steven comes out.
Me: is that....
Steven speaks.
Me: holy shit! Its "the guy on the couch"!!

This man was one of maybe five comedians that got me through high school.

Last night someone broke into my house and replaced everything with exact replicas.

“THE PRESENT IS A PAST FACTORY.”
