The Screams Became His Niche

Kinison went on: “Look at her. This is the best it’s ever going to be. Look at her. If you ever decide you want to marry her, and you want to have a little house with the white picket fence, I want you to remember this face.”

Bill Kinison was in the audience that night and recalled the crowd being both shocked and amused by the comic’s anger at the couple. The thing is, Kinison wasn’t joking. “It’s not a joke to him. He is so pissed off this couple is sitting there like they’re going to live blissfully ever after, and he was living in sh*t,” Bill recalled.
