Todd Barry returned to Late Show with David Letterman last night, just days before his new one-hour stand-up release, “Todd Barry: Super Crazy,” hits Comedy Central, your CD and DVD stacks, iTunes files and video-game consoles. In this clip, Barry explains why, if he had to go to prison, he’d …
David Letterman long has held a soft spot for comedians of his own generation, particularly if he was part of their circle in the Los Angeles comedy scene of the 1970s.
