George Wallace has been doing stand-up for almost 50 years. He came up in New York – his roommate was Jerry Seinfeld. Wallace’s humor, like Seinfeld’s, is observational. The stakes are usually pretty low, the punchlines and wordplay pretty frequent. Which is to say, a George Wallace joke from the ’80s can still kill today. The man is a legend! He joins us to talk about his decades-long career as a stand-up comedian.
