I had the same opinion until I saw him in person in the mid 1970s. He was incredible...quick ad libs, fantastic timing, not at all like the heavily-edited tv specials where he obviously read his cue cards. It's a shame they didn't have the HBO-style filmed performances back then so more people could appreciate his real talent today...but believe me, he was a fantastic comedian.
