In that first video, I've never heard the Kenison yell go into the psychotic laugh.

also in the interview with Johnny, "The best part of being married...is that you can't get married."

Glorious.    RIP Sam.

The end of the second video is great.  Catch of couple glimpses of Lettermen cracking up in the background.  Also, my favorite Kinison bit about living in deserts.

Man that dude owned comedy for awhile! I wonder how much longer he would have been in vogue had he not died so suddenly? While he really had some great observational humor at the time , the screaming schtick almost certainly had a shelf life. Bobcat Goldthwait comes to mind, and Andrew Dice Clay to a lesser degree.

Saw his last standup show the night before he died. He was out of his mind. Very funny...but blitzed. He had no idea where he was. 

Funny guy that had his own style.
