Bargle | 1757 comments I read this book 5+ years ago. It was a kind of overview of stand-up comedians from the 50s to the 80s or thereabouts. I remember there were bits about Henny Youngman, Jimmie Walker, Rodney Dangerfield and Will Jordan.
It was a hardbound book. I don't remember anything about the cover.

That may be it. I'll have to do a bit more research to be sure.
