Not just one of the most original comedians but he also has a brilliant delivery. Love watching old episodes of Steven on the Craig Ferguson Late Late Show. Thank you for posting this.

I remember that title for him, would think something in the one liner genre would be closer to Rodney Dangerfield. Steven is ok (comedy is indeed subjective), but not in the master class of comedy imho.
