Male Comedian (LV11)
This unique comedy and music schtick have set him apart as a one-of-a-kind comic. He has performed on every major concert stage in the country and made over 350 television appearances, including many on both The Tonight Show and The Late Show With David Letterman. He was one of six comedians, along with Jay Leno, to star on the very first HBO Comedy Special, and appeared on a series of Steve Martin specials. Gary was the Comedy Host of Don Kirshner’s Rock Concert for four years on NBC, a series regular on Make Me Laugh, and a frequent judge on The Gong Show. He is currently featured on the DVDs “Jeff Foxworthy’s Comedy Classics” and “The World’s Greatest Stand-up Comedy Collection.”
For nearly five decades, he has entertained regularly in Las Vegas, Reno, Lake Tahoe, Atlantic City showrooms and major casino/resorts across the U.S. He has shared the stage with music icons too numerous to list, from Merle Haggard, Ray Charles, Dolly Parton, Roger Miller, and Willie Nelson, to Johnny Mathis, Vince Gill, and The Zac Brown Band. He appears often at the Grand Ole Opry, and has performed at Carnegie Hall. He has been part of the Johnny Mathis show as Special Guest since 1994, playing everywhere from the Hollywood Bowl to Royal Albert Hall in London. In addition, his show was filmed at the historic Colonial Theatre in Pittsfield, MA, for a PBS special.
