Why he might be annoying:

    He initially planned to be a professional baseball player.
    In his standup routines, he referred to himself as ‘America’s slowest-rising young comic.’
    His family had a habit of partying into the wee hours of the morning.
    As the class clown, he was kicked out of many a school.
    He didn’t believe Goldie Hawn rehearsed hard or long enough to become a successful performer; she won an Oscar for ‘Cactus Flower’ a few years later.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He can recall performing as far back as age eight.
    He made it to the semi-professional leagues before enlisting in the Air Force.
    He collects minor league and semi-pro baseball caps.
    He was an opening act for several Vegas headliners.
    When ‘Good Morning, World’ failed in the Nielsens, he was able to fall back on his role as Gomer Pyle’s buddy and fellow private.
    In addition to a host of film, commercial, voiceover and guest television credits, he was the voice of a Hockey Night in Canada intermission icon.
