Michael Jackson

With all the Michael Jackson media overload, more than a few Richard Jeni fans have noted that Farrah Fawcett's death was overlooked by the press in favor of the Michael Jackson media circus, in much the same way that Jeni's passing was eclipsed by that of Anna Nicole Smith.

Another similar outcome to the end of their lives: Michael Jackson and Richard Jeni both underwent autopsies and toxicology reports from the County of Los Angeles.

Jackson's toxicology report has yet to be officially released, even though there are allegedly "leaks" that indicate there was heavy medication use of several potent drugs, with doses far above prescribed levels. If that is true, then by comparison, Richard Jeni's toxicology report was quite clean.

According to Richard Jeni's Toxicology Report (dated Monday, April 2, 2007), almost every drug they tested him for came up NEGATIVE or ND (Not Detected)--that included alcohol, barbituates, Citalopram (aka Celexa), Norcitalopram (aka Fluvoxamine), Alprazolam (aka Xanax), cocaine and metabolites, Fentanyl, methamphetamines, codeine, morphine and Phencyclidine (PCP). ALL came up negative/ND.

The findings reject the the internet rumors that one ill-informed videoblogger tried to start, claiming coke use was as a reason for his death (which the autopsy report clearly dispels, as there was no trace of illegal substances found in Jeni's system).

The only detectable amounts of medication were low doses of two drugs that he was prescribed to treat his depression--Mirtazapine (aka Remeron) and Zolpidem (aka Ambien). The Remeron level was 0.19 ug/ml, and the Ambien level was under 0.15 ug/ml. The "ug/ml" stands for "micrograms per milliliter"; therefore, the results indicate a normal, prescribed use of both medications.

TV Guide on "The Tragic Side of Comedy"

There were two previous entries here in the Richard Jeni Information Blog regarding the Biography Channel's, "The Tragic Side of Comedy" and they've been combined here.

Biography.com has a series of videos at this link. Interviewees include Marilu Henner (on Andy Kaufman), Ali LeRoi (on Bernie Mac), Tanner Colby (on Chris Farley), Rain Pryor (on her father, Richard Pryor), and there is also a preview video.

Production information from February was posted at Laughandheal.com: I am shooting a segment/interview for A&E that will air, sometime in March. The show higlights the lives, careers and deaths of ten great comedians. Richard Pryor, Bernine Mac, Chirs Farley and Andy Kaufman are just a few. I have been asked to comment on the sudden passing of my old friend, Richard Jeni. I will post the air date when I get it.

In April 2009, Richardjeni.com reported: Rich has been included in a segment on A&E's Biography show "The Tragic Side of Comedy" (not as downbeat as it sounds--and he's in excellent company). It will air sometime in June 2009, exact date still to be determined.

Over at Linkedin, Tony Kremer of Kinetic Productions, Inc. in Las Vegas was credited as a freelance camera operator for Sharp Entertainment. His page had this to say about the special: ...shot sit-down interview with Comedian David Brenner for "The Tragic Side of Comedy" which will air on the show "Biography" on A&E. Realitystaff.com listed Eryn Korby as a Field Producer. Editor Mark Augustine at Elevationtalent.com (a talent agency) also received credit.

There is a paragraph of description at The Futon Critic and the Pittsburgh Form blog. Richard Pryor, John Belushi, Chris Farley and Phil Hartman are mentioned. The Futon Critic says, "'The Tragic Side of Comedy' is produced for BIO by Sharp Entertainment with Matt Sharp serving as Executive Producer. Executive Producers for BIO are Peter Tarshis and Tom Mooney.

Zap2it.com has a schedule for the show. The first show premiered on Wednesday, June 24th at 9 a.m. EST. It repeated twice on Thursday, June 25th, at 1 a.m. and 10 a.m. Another showing was on Friday, June 26th, at 2 a.m. and then twice on Saturday, June 27th at 1 p.m. and 11 p.m.

Most recently, there is a two-paragraph mention over at TVGuide.com: John Belushi and Richard Pryor had more in common than comedic brilliance. Each struggled with intense personal demons, detailed in the two-hour special, The Tragic Side of Comedy (Wednesday, 9 pm/ET). The BIO Channel show explores the troubled lives behind some of the most celebrated comedians of our time, including Chris Farley, Richard Jeni, Bernie Mac, and Andy Kaufman. From SNL to Animal House, take a look back on the brilliant work of John Belushi and the struggle with drugs that led to his death-by-overdose at 33. (Two videos embedded on the page are no longer available).

And Freddieprinzesr.com had this to say on their "Special Thanks" page: "I'm extremely grateful for being in contact with producer John Crenny of the Biography Channel and assisting him on information and resources for the "tragic side of comedy:" special. Thank you for a well crafted and informative program."

The top image of a silhouette on a curtain is from the site Bullz-Eye.com; although there is no real way to know whose outline that is, the stance is very similar to that of Richard Jeni.

The bottom image is a combination of the site's cartoon versions of Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor and Bill Hicks. Unfortunately, they don't have one of Rich.

HBO's 12th Annual Young Comedians Show

One of the HBO cable channels aired the "12th Annual" show early this morning. It's the first time I've had the chance to see it since 1988. The only bummer? I have no way to record anything from TV and thus couldn't save it. Richard was dressed in a black-and-green sweater with black pants, and did much of the same material as he did for his Showtime "Crazy From the Heat" special.

Richard Jeni

The name is often misspelled "Richard Jenny" and "Richard Jenni," as I've found out through prowling over the internet.

Nothing has emerged that's "new" so this entry is more or less to keep the blog breathing and at the top of the Google Blogsearch page (actually, now it's the only one). It'd be a shame to have him be forgotten by audiences...

An article from the Metro Times, 7/20/2005. Titled "Laughs and Crafts":

By Corey Hall

Behold Richard Jeni: the world’s most famous unknown comedian. Maybe you’ve heard his name before but you can’t place his face. He’s not flashy, lewd or loud. And he’s highly unlikely to disappear and turn up in a South African rehab center.

Where you’ll find Jeni is on the stage. That’s where he’s been night after night, town after town, decade after decade, doing what he does best: killing. He’s the perfect image of a stand-up comedian. But he’s not ready to be bronzed and mounted in front of the National Comedy Hall of Fame, coated with pigeon turds for eternity just yet. The man still has some work to do.

These days, Jeni is wearing out America’s pavement in support of his third HBO comedy special, A Big Steaming Pile of Me, which debuted this past winter. The cable TV special is vintage stand-up: a stream of articulate observations and petty gripes, all dovetailing beautifully as the laughs build and build. In an antic 90 minutes, Jeni recounts hate mail from someone who refers to him as a “punk faggot,” imagines a shootout with a crazed Martha Stewart, describes marriage as a choice between “being lonely and being irritated,” and explains how only Americans can turn a beautiful French pastry into a “crossainwich.”

It all seems effortless because it’s the essence of good stand-up; one man speaking his mind. He simply does the material: he doesn’t rap, perform haikus or dirty poems, smash gourds or “Git ‘er done.”

“I don’t want to do that, in fact, I’d rather be less famous and do what I want to do. Somebody like Carrot Top has to be a certain thing,” Jeni says.

What’s even more amazing is the fact that Jeni has survived for more than 20 years on his own merits, when so many others require a gimmick to get big. He’s never had to rely on some sort of hook or phony persona. “That’s a different job,” Jeni says. “Having to get into character and talk about stuff you don’t care about because you’re in character? That’s more like work.”

This lack of a signature bit is like a “get out of jail free” card for the seasoned comedian. “It keeps it fresh,” Jeni says. “This last HBO special was kind of a departure for me, and probably something I wouldn’t have been able to do if I had established the ‘he’s the guy who can’t get along with women’ or ‘he’s the redneck guy’ thing. A Big Steaming Pile of Me was more political and had a lot more social commentary. It was more theatrical.”

And more than anything, it’s unusually high standards that have kept Jeni from pursuing more film roles or pushing for a massive sitcom deal like his filthy rich contemporaries Jerry Seinfeld and Ray Romano. True, he took a shot at the small screen with an early ’90s UPN sitcom called Platypus Man, but the show’s failure only crystallized his faith in stand-up. “I don’t think you can serve all these different masters and nourish all these talents and still be happy with the work,” Jeni says. For a guy like Jeni, comedy — not celebrity — is the brass ring. “I don’t really need money that I won’t be able to spend anyway. I just want to keep doing comedy. I don’t think people give stand up enough credit as a craft. 8 p.m. on Wednesday, July 20, at Jerome-Duncan Ford Theatre at Freedom Hill, 14900 Metro Pkwy., Sterling Heights; 586-268-5100 and at 8 p.m. on Thursday, July 21, at Meadowbrook, 3554 Walton Blvd., Rochester Hills; call Ticketmaster at 248-645-6666 for tickets.

Richard Jeni's Former Property

Well, it's online and all official now--Richard Jeni's old three-bedroom, three-bath house sold for $1,925,000 on 3/27/2009. A steal, really, given its location in the Hollywood Hills and the fact that it had been fully renovated. The price was even reduced $250,000 on January 4th in order to sell the house. Since the property taxes last year alone were $20,584, it's got to be a relief to the real estate agency to have that one off the books.

It's funny. On Zillow.com, they have the house listed as "somewhat walkable." Really? It's a hell of a "walkable," then. You've got to have a good heart, strong legs and a hell of an endurance level to make your way up from Sunset Boulevard to that particular area of North Crescent Heights.

Danny Gans

Danny Gans passed away on Friday morning, May 1, 2009. His wife called and reported that he was having trouble breathing, and by the time police and paramedics arrived, Danny was pronounced dead at the scene. You can read CNN.com's article here.
He was of Richard Jeni's generation of comedians. He started a few years before Richard, worked for 15 years on the road and at corporate gigs, then gave up Broadway appearances and road gigs in 1996 in favor of living in Las Vegas to be with his family every night. And because of his brilliant singing impressions, he became a huge success and a big-ticket draw.

Richard Jeni's Birthday

It's Richard Jeni's birthday. Not that anyone seems to notice; this will be the only entry on Google Blogs to pop up with such information.

Someone on eBay is selling a couple of black-and-white "Platypus Man" photos. The one above is one of them.

Dr. Lawrence Kutner

Well, only because it brings suicide to the forefront (albeit on a fictional level), I suppose that it is worth mentioning that Doctor Lawrence Kutner, one of the newer characters on FOX's television show, "House, M.D.", is dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

But the actor, Kal Penn, is ALIVE and WELL and was at a Lakers' game just last night with two of his castmembers.

You wouldn't believe how many erroneous reports are floating around that the actor himself died, when it was just the character of Kutner. Incidentally, this is an event which has rubbed a lot of "House" fans the wrong way. But the website went all out, creating its own link to a Kutner page, a "memorial video" (highlighting the character's scenes throughout the season), a faux obituary, "letters" from Kutner's co-workers (Taub, Cameron, Cuddy, Foreman, Wilson, Thirteen and Chase, with a blank page that just says "GREGORY HOUSE"), and a place to "Leave your own personal message for Dr. Kutner & grab an embeddable badge." Not too shabby for the online FOX people, especially when most networks' websites are just show pieces without any interaction opportunities for the fans.

The television show "House" is a big supporter of NAMI, the National Alliance of Mental Illness. Hopefully the fictional tragedy will bring light to the very real situation of mental illness and guide people towards getting help.

Random Finds

There haven't been any new finds online lately. Photographer Mike Carano (Mikecarano.com) took the above photo of Richard Jeni. He was nice enough to give me the photo/poster that was hanging up at the Hollywood Improv of this image, and I also got an email from him that read: "The photo with the red shirt was taken at the Irvine, CA Improv probably in 2003 or 2004 - Mike Carano"

In October 1998, the United Jewish Fund Entertainment Division hosted the Third Kosher Comedy Night:

WHO: Comedians Kevin Pollak ("A Few Good Men"), D.L. Hughley ("The Hughleys" ABC), Richard Jeni and surprise guests. Sponsored by Creative Artists Agency, Endeavor, Brillstein Grey Entertainment and 3 Arts Entertainment. 1996 and 1997 events raised over $15,000 for The United Jewish Fund.

WHEN: Thursday, Oct. 22, 1998, at 7:30 p.m.

WHERE: The Laugh Factory, 8001 Sunset Boulevard

WHAT: The $60 per person fundraising event benefits the United Jewish Fund, the fundraising arm of The Jewish Federation, an umbrella organization raising $50 million a year to benefit a broad range of non-sectarian, social services to the community and relief efforts worldwide. The entertainment division is chaired by Russell Goldsmith, campaign co-chairs are Lawrence Kopeiken and Brad Krevoy. Event chairs are brothers Matt and Aaron Weinberg ("Weiny Bro Productions"). INFORMATION CALL KAREN STERNFELD.

Found this online: J. Keith (jkeith.net)- I met Richard briefly several years ago. I was at a party at his house. I knew some friends of his and got myself invited over. I said a polite hello and “thanks for having me,” but didn’t really engage him. I was shy around famous people, especially the comedians I admired. I guess I was afraid they’d reveal how different they were from me, or even scarier, how similar they were, and that it really just took lots of hard work and tough knocks to make it. Anyhow, I stayed out of his way but I noticed that Richard seemed to be more of an observer to his party than a participant. The actual phrase I used to describe him at the time was a ghost in his own home.

"Christopher Smith: A Semi-Funny Guy" featured Richard Jeni on his blog segment, "Spotlight On..." The entry includes four clips showing Jeni's segments on the Political Right vs. Left, church, Michael Jackson and Jaws 4. Nice of him to give Rich a nod. Few people are these days.

Just as an update, the only special still not on sale is his first one, "Boy From New York City."

Somewhere, there is a vast tape collection of Richard's Jeni stage performances... he apparently recorded almost everything he did... but no word on if this private collection will ever be made available.

Richard Jeni's House

Two years after his death, Richard John Colangelo's house has apparently sold. For lack of a better activity, I drove up that way and noticed that the real estate sign had been taken down, and a number of personal belongings and vehicles now filled up the open garage. It's still too early, so there's no mention of the sale online yet. And thus, another chapter has closed on the history of Richard Jeni.

One of my tasks over the past couple of years has been to gather various Richard Jeni articles from the internet before they disappear, but it appears that I'm too late for this clip from TBS: a Classic Comic Relief moment. The video has been taken down and when you click on it, the site redirects itself to TBS' main video page. All that remains is the shell where it once lived and the above tiny photo.

Also found an overhead shot of the HBO set from Jeni's last special at Bruceryan.com, showing off his production design.

Half the Picture...

Erroneous reports about the reasons and the results of Richard Jeni's suicide abound on the internet. Some are easy to understand, as they came out during the initial rush of the story and, as most news stories go, involved a lot of wrong information:

Rumor: he was 45 years old. NOT TRUE. The first news reports miswrote his age to 45, rather than his true age of 49, and that error was spread throughout the internet. It has been said that IMDB.com had the wrong age for Richard on it... either that or some moron couldn't add and subtract properly.

Rumor: he shot himself in the face. NOT TRUE--close, but not quite. He didn't aim it under his chin or on his eye; he put the barrel of the gun into his mouth and against the upper palate. This was another error spread by the media based on initial news reports because his then-girlfriend called in the 911 call and said, "my boyfriend shot himself in the face." She found him with a bloody face and had no way of knowing, in her shock, grief and hysteria, exactly what had happened.

Rumor: he shot himself with a shotgun. NOT TRUE. Just look at the autopsy information at TheSmokingGun.com: "On March 10, with his girlfriend downstairs making breakfast, Jeni, 49, placed the barrel of a .38-caliber Colt Detective Special in his mouth and pulled the trigger." This one most likely arose out of the "shot himself in the face" mistake, as people think "shotgun" more often than "handgun" with this type of thing. So someone, somewhere in the media ASSUMED it had been a shotgun, and everyone ran with that ball.

Rumor: he was terminally ill. This was also NOT TRUE (unless you view the devastating effects of severe depression/schizophrenia to be terminal medical conditions). That rumor started because of Jeni's habit of donating money in his friends' names to the American Cancer Society during the holidays.

Rumor: he was married. NOT TRUE. He had a longtime girlfriend. Another early-reporting mistake, possibly linked to assumptions about how a man his age would/could be married.

Rumor: he died at his apartment in Chicago (and/or Hollywood). MOST DEFINITELY NOT TRUE. This one is a mixure of old AND erroneous info. Richard had cancelled a gig in Chicago a little over a month before, as he prepared to enter a facility for treatment, so that's where the "Chicago" bit comes into play. The apartment portion is completely out of left field, however. Richard had a condo in New York once upon a time, but he purchased his West Hollywood house in 1991.

What really makes me shake my head in wonder, as people use this case as a reason to mount their soap boxes, are statements like this: "As an anti-gun legislation supporter, I can assure you that this tragedy would not have happened if guns were not available in this society and Richard would still be with us." Really? "I can assure you?"

Never mind that he'd threatened to jump off a building a mere three months earlier, huh?

It is true that guns in the home greatly increase the risk of someone using that weapon to injure themselves or someone else, but to be arrogant enough to hear of an incident like this and, with no information on his backstory, to assume taking the gun away would've solved the problem... people, man. In-freakin'-credible.

Crescent Heights Home

For some inexplicable reason, I felt the urge to drive up to Richard Jeni's old house last night (sometime around 7:30 p.m.) at North Crescent Heights. So I rode up through the darkness... and was surprised to find all the lights on, the garage open, and a van from a department of Universal Studios parked in the garage. There were also a couple of the tall outdoor gas heaters and a washer-and-dryer sitting in the space, the door of which was always closed on the other days that I'd passed by. Two Mexican workmen peered at me from one corner of the garage. A little futher down the block, it appeared that the real estate agent was walking along with a potential buyer.

Yes, that's right--two years and a week after Richard John Colangelo shot himself in the upstairs bathroom, the house is still up for sale. (Trust me, if I had the money, I'd have snapped it up long ago.)

There's nothing else "new" regarding Richard. There's a website called Teardropmemories.com that put his Hindenberg remark up. And hHere's some old random stuff on Howardstern.com--remarks made on the air:

May 10, 2007
Lisa next said she was worried about “not being funny” because she was now in love, and Howard pointed out that he felt most comedians were depressed. This led Lisa to say she used to be “friendly” with Richard Jeni, who killed himself earlier in the year, but that she turned down the alleged sexual advances he made on her because he was short and unhappy…

March 15, 2007
Howard brought up Richard Jeni’s recent suicide, which led to a discussion about some comedians’ need to be at the top of the profession, while others – like Greg – were happy with their lives…

March 14, 2007
After Chris called Richard Jeni, the comedian who killed himself last week, “a good friend,” Howard took some calls for Chris…

March 13, 2007
Jackie said he knew the comedian, Richard Jeni, who shot himself over the weekend, referring to him as “the last guy” he ever thought would kill himself. Jackie added he felt Richard was “a road warrior” before calling him “so goddamn funny.”

March 12, 2007
Howard went on to discuss how upset he was about the suicide of the comedian, Richard Jeni, who he noted had been on the show a number of times. Artie then pointed out he was a fan of Richard’s as well, and also mentioned what a big fan of the show he knew Richard was… Robin brought up how funny she thought Richard was in “The Mask,” and Howard said he believed that, in order to be nominated for an Academy Award, a movie had to be depressing, noting he watched one such film over the weekend, “Little Children.”
…Roseanne said she didn’t know Richard Jeni, but did find the news of his suicide to be “awful.” Roseanne added she’d heard through a friend of Richard’s that he was depressed, adding that she knew firsthand how crippling the condition was.

Appearance Dates

Well, you'll all be glad to know that even two years after death, Richard Jeni is still getting appearance dates.

Here's something from Great Seats:

We have authentic Richard Jeni comedy tickets to see live. Ordering Richard Jeni tickets has never been easier...

Yea, especially now? And I found this entry over at American Social:

Richard Jeni

March 30, 2009

Keswick Theatre

Glenside, PA

Heck. Some live comics can't get this much attention...

1957-2007

March 9, 2009

A day short of two years later... there's still very little "new" to find.

I'd appreciate it if anyone in the UK with access to the BFI Film & TV Database could get me a few of Richard Jeni's appearances that aren't available here in the US and can't be seen via the website: "Comedy Del Sol," "Just For Laughs" and "Live at Wise Guys." There's also a listing for "Craig Goes Mad in Melbourne,"which may or may not have him in it.

Also would like to see any of Richard's 20+ appearances on the "Tonight Show." Finding all 20 is asking a bit much, particularly when I only have leads on one, but any complete (not just a clip) appearance would be appreciated: 2/27/2003 Ellen DeGeneres, George Foreman, and Richard Jeni 10620.

Scribd.com has a fan remembrance.

The Comic's Comic blog has a few quotes but I think that they've already been covered here.

Inn-Entertainment.com, the Innovative Entertainment website, has (had?) Richard Jeni's promotional biography.

I don't have a HighBeam account (anyone want to buy one for me?), but here's the first part of an article written by the Boston Globe on May 1, 1998: "Richard Jeni, who's at the Comedy Connection at Faneuil Hall tonight and tomorrow night, put on the best show I saw last year. The 17-year veteran has starred in four HBO specials, has won three Cable Ace awards for comedy specials, had his own situation comedy called "Platypus Man," and is currently appearing on more theater screens than "Titanic" with "Coca-Cola Presents Richard Jeni." "Unlike `Titanic,' " says Jeni from San Juan, where he's performing for a private corporation, "you don't have to wait in line to see me. I'm everywhere." The Coke deal features bits from Jeni's stand-up routines. Jeni first became interested in comedy by listening to an extensive selection of comedy records... "

Also found a few more projects that I didn't know that he did:

Baseball Relief: An All-Star Comedy Salute - A charity event featuring baseball greats and comedians in stand-up comedy, baseball-themed sketches and music. Proceeds benefit Comic Relief's National Pediatric Care Program for Homeless Children;

City Kids (ABC) - no further information;

MTV Beach House - I've found a few clips from 1995 Beach House with Blind Melon, Joey Ramone, etc. but no way to know where/if Richard is in those;

Star Search (1986) - no info but I did find an opening sequence with Kevin Meaney.

"What a World!"

I wrote up a blog on "What a World!" back in October 2008. The Canadian site iChannel has this to say about it: "Comedian Richard Jeni takes us on safari through the quirky quagmire of the human condition. From our infatuation with pets (animals we tame, name, and dress in sweaters) to odd things we’ll eat (locust lollipops?), you’ll ponderously scratch your head between laughs." And under the schedule, this comes up: "Join Richard Jeni on a worldwide safari in the cultural jungle and discover how our traditions and taboos contrast, complement and collide in ways no one could have predicted."
