Regis & Kathie Lee - with "Zed", the human/robot comedian!!

From early 1993, here is part of a Regis & Kathie Lee show with "Zed," the first human/robot stand-up comedian! (This guy is GOOD!!!)

[@sarin82]

This guy's strength isn't really his jokes, but rather how he keeps on making flawless robot-like movements while telling them.

[@cliftut]

I daresay he suffers through his own bad jokes because they're part of crafting the effect. :D

[@kinsmart7294]

I don't know, the bad jokes kind are in line with the act. Its an robot trying to be funny

[@weemissile]

The jokes are supposed to be bad, that's the point of the robot character, he's not a very good comedian.

[@ezra3776]

78% correct

[@crustymongrel1898]

It’s the same jokes Everytime but I think that gives the impression that it is pre recorded

[@Avedis-G]

This was actually funnier than his regular routine. He should’ve kept using this or interacting with audience members. He is amazing though! He doesn’t even blink!

[@Draliseth]

Really? This is just about the only act I've seen him do.

[@VorpalStorm]

I adore Zed.

Best comedic fall ever

[@tjhooker824]

That fall was such a stroke of genius. I think Regis and Kathy Lee really had a panic moment there

[@peterward2275]

Absoloutely and positively the BEST 'Robot Act' ever.

[@Pauldjreadman]

I just reminded of this outstanding act. I remember this in 90s?

[@caleidoo]

He obviously can't show his excellent moves while sitting on a chair. Great way to "force" them into a standing interview. Or follow a script of course.

[@bokajllensch661]

Judging from the lighting at least the person responsible for the studio light didnt knew they would stand. But often details like this dont reach the technicians which can be quiet frustrating.

[@piecrumbs9951]

@@bokajllensch661 At least it isn't loudly frustrating

[@bokajllensch661]

@@piecrumbs9951 wow thanks for that comment, actually! As it turns out I ve been writing "quite" quite wrong the whole time.

[@JhockCousteau]

Work of a genius

[@revivedfears]

The mouth movements are absolutely amazing

[@rob5541]

It's too bad this guy kept using the same bit, like it is gold but wish he had more meterial 30 years later

[@TyroClint]

Unfortunately he was built before WiFi existed so he’s not able to download any new jokes

[@micahwright5901]

He’s actually really good with interactive comedy. I was worried he only had one bit but this is fun!

[@nodescriptionavailable3842]

He’s fucking awesome!!!

[@mcchinenees]

So smooth 👍

[@ronniebray596]

I loved watching Mr Zed 👍🏻❤️

[@gratianreymanapil5003]

Hurt? Goooooooood!

[@Piotrek4500]

Thank You!

[@vinnmann33]

Yeah he definitely needs more material maybe he could have done something with his career.. I never heard of him till today

[@procta2343]

I never even heard of him either, but there are footage of him in the late 70s doing something similar, but i don't think it really ever clocked on, Not sure what he does now,

[@Centaur1991]

He is still active but not in the US. he moved to italy and continued his career there until now. I heard he was quite successful there. Making millions doing standup and tv shows every year

[@user-mt6tl8ch6p]

Браво!!! Талант!!!

[@Rawlingm]

Thank you! Don’t mind if I do. Lol

[@Ashtonscreative]

That was TOO FUNNY 😂😂😂

[@rodgodx345]

Gooooooooooooodddd 😂

[@TheMonkeyking37]

I wish he had more jokes

[@MaxwellDarwin]

Well, as you know… this is just the warm up, and you could do it this way, or with microwaves.

[@DrDiscourse]

A guy who hasn't been able to update himself and get some proper feedback on his writing. Love his act but even after decades it's unchanged.

[@aviezek3072]

Hahahahaha
