I always went out to my grandparent's outhouse with grandma on Sunday afternoons and sat next to her as she read something while doing her business. They had put in indoor plumbing at some point before I was born, but she still went to the outhouse. I remember my parents and older sisters had chamber pots in their bedrooms. The house my sisters grew up in had holes in the roof and snow would come into their bedroom in the winter. They were worried about fire among other things. I can remember following my dad into that house when I was probably 3 or 4, but he stopped me after a few steps and told me to never come in there again because it was so unsafe. I don't know if it was demolished or burned, but when I was born, there was a basement built where we would have a new house. It was built in '62. Sorry I got off track on that.

TheTuck12 best line of the night.

[@farbrorknark]

His talent level was insane, how can anyone be this good so early in the game?

[@depaola63]

An all~time GREAT! His brother Charlie was great too, I was sad to hear of his passing in April....* God bless'

[@ayDursi]

He was soo adorable. AW and the laugh lool

[@annajeehee]

His look and smiles after jokes - is priceless

[@nosearchwarrant]

He got brought to the chair on his first appearance. An honor

[@ScottRoberts]

nosearchwarrant He already was a well-known star on SNL for 2 years at that point. I'd understand it if he was an unknown comic and got called over.

[@jayham____fromgeorgia]

Actually more like 14 months.. He wasn't a hit right off the bat either.. he was the only ' featured ' player of that cast.. But, once he hit, he hit big..

[@jojopuppyfish]

I read somewhere that Eddie would not appear on Carson unless he guaranteed that Carson would call him over after his stand up set. Supposedly the Tonight SHow reached out to Eddie's agent and only wanted him to do stand up. Eddie was insulted and demanded they call him to the couch. Eddie got his way. This story might be in the SNL book.

nosearchwarrant ...and was given six minutes as opposed to the usual three...

Best Man and suit on that stage. Made me laugh too. I've always loved him and his comedy.

[@failinginamerica]

His impression of the modeling poses every photographer/agency seems to love is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen. Every single time I remember it, it makes me laugh

[@tommack8650]

Eddie kills it! Comic genius, socially aware, and class. His suit is razor sharp and makes Johnny and Ed's look like Sears best.

[@lobsterwhisperer7932]

its been 33 years since he did any stand-up.

[@charlesyoung9980]

As clean as this is, you could not get away with this today.

[@ninadaly7639]

Wow! Seamless. Totally comfortable. His brother was hysterical too!

[@munchyman3]

[@shierocshieroc3735]

[@catalinasimmons6314]

[@neteri8052]

[@jtm594]

He’s still the funniest guy alive.
