we all thought it was weird that Eddie didn't use that opportunity to tell at least one or 2 jokes. we wondered why he didn't. it was proposed that maybe he's not funny any more. or maybe HE doesn't think he's funny. i brought up his long career as a comedic actor and his seemingly short career as a stand up comic. i realized i haven't heard of him doing any stand up since Raw in 1987. that's almost 30 yrs. i then figured that stand up is like any other talent - it must be used or it can be lost. if Eddie hasn't done any stand up in nearly 30 yrs i'm not sure he can still do it.

then i made this post asking about his stand up experience. b/c i wonder if when Eddie considers doing stand up if he has a memory bank of performances from which to draw. and if so, how much data is in that bank? so i made this post.
