To be fair:

In small doses, his routine might be impressive and mesmerizing. Prolonged exposure, though...not so much.

...and maybe that's what made him so successful. He seemed more interested in a "closing a deal" than forging long-term friendships. At least that's what I took away from it. Granted it was a long time ago; this was one show back in the 90's.

Damn, if the man didn't stand out, though. He was certainly memorable.
