Richard, I was glad to add my two cents to all the 5-star reviews WHEN COMEDY WAS KING is getting on Amazon.

Apart from the film itself (which never looked or sounded better than it does now), Richard's audio commentary is the closest thing to a Slapsticon Event until the next show comes around. Like many (if not all) the Mafiosi, we're familiar with WCK, so I first watched it with Richard's commentary. I'll just say that he adds a new and engaging dimension that you're not going to get from Dwight Weist's narration, and leave it at that. Get the disc, folks, I've already watched it four times, it's just great.
