The Birth of the Scream
That scream that Kinison became known for – his “thing”? Well, that stemmed from his marriage with his second wife, Terry. They had been arguing for three days, and by the third day, when he was set to appear at the Comedy Store, he came onto the stage in a complete rage.

In the front of the audience was a cuddling, kissing couple, who, unfortunately for them, was at the right place but at the wrong time. Kinison snapped at them, interrogating them from the stage. “Do you love her?” he asked the guy. “I don’t know – we’re just dating,” the poor guy replied.
