Sam Kinison
Compared to other comedians, Sam Kinison was not involved in comedy for many years but while he was, he was the man. He influenced comedians younger and older than himself with his unique presence and communication skills. From his late teenage years to young adulthood, he had followed in his father's footsteps as a Pentecostal preacher. Preaching turned out to be the wrong path and he changed to comedy starting in Texas. After performing stand-up in the comedy club scene, his breakthrough came when he appeared on a Rodney Dangerfield HBO special in 1984. Appearances on late night television and film roles followed and he became one of the biggest names in comedy. He had a passion for rock music and would perform with a band on stage at his stand-up shows. He died in 1992 when he was 38, in a car accident as he was on his way to perform a show in Nevada.
