Richard Lewis
Sometimes we have happy guests. Today we have stand-up comedian Richard Lewis. But these days the so-called “Prince of Pain” – known for his angst-y, neuroses-filled rants – is fourteen years sober and, dare we say, almost happy? His life-long journey battling addiction and alcoholism is chronicled in his autobiography, The Other Great Depression. And his newly released DVD, Richard Lewis Naked, follows him on that original book tour. Faith Salie speaks with Richard Lewis on Fair Game.
