Grabbed a coffee before seeing Lewis Black live at the Mirage

I turn around and Lewis Black is standing right behind me in line at The Roasted Bean to get a coffee. My wife told him he should just cut ahead in line and he chuckled and said "no, it doesn't work that way." She said he could just say who he is and he replied "if they recognize me and say something then I could."

We wanted to ask for a picture but I've read online that he doesn't like getting asked for pictures and autographs plus he seemed like he didn't want to draw attention to himself.

After we got our coffee and sat down I right away started to unlock my Blackberry to snap a picture but he had already gotten his and walked off.

Kind of a cool and unexpected experience. 😀

Naturally after he's long gone my wife and I think of all kinds of witty things we could have said to him.

exactly. he's not really that BIG a star... he's just a comedian.

i wouldn't let Jeff Dunham cut in front of me, or Lisa Lampinelli, or Louis CK... or anyone like that.

Juz cuz yer funny, doesn't give ya priveledges.

Apparently the Mirage doesn't think he's that big a star, or he coulda had his concierge get his coffee.

True. Not like we were serious about him trying to budge in front of everyone, just making small talk.

QFT!

 
He seems like a cool guy. He was a good guest on craig ferguson a few months ago.

I'll never forget his highly paid, with benefits, ball washer routine.

I hate it when people say "Who?" when I say I saw someone famous. However, after looking him up online, looking through Google Images, and reading his entry on IMDB, I can say, without a doubt, this deserves a "Who?".

I hate that woman, uggh
 
I love that guy.

I was about 1' away from Obama in 07 when he was under USSS protection. I was walking by the Mandarin Oriental in Columbus Circle when his convoy pulled up, I was instantly surrounded by USSS. I could have reached out and introduced myself but I decided against getting a free beatdown courtesy of the US taxpayers.

Did he say it, or did he shout it?

Said it, kind of quietly.

I think he wanted to keep a low profile, get his coffee, and leave. Otherwise I would've asked for a photo.

The guy ahead of us in line had dark hair tied back into a pony tail, tall, round face, and kind of overweight. If I was a lot quicker on my feet I should've leaned over to Lewis and said "I can't believe I'm standing next to someone famous. Look over there, it's Penn Jillette!"
 
I was standing in a Starbucks once and guy gets in line behind me. I thought he was a hobo at first. I was looking at the tattoos on his hands and I realized it was Ozzy. I didn't say anything to him. I imagine celebrities just want to be left alone and I don't really get too excited by them anyway.

I would have let some insults fly.... then if I got beat down I'd ensure it became a news story about how he couldn't accept criticism.

Do you watch the Daily Show?

He was also just on the roast of Bob Sagat.

FYI, he's a politically oriented (at least in what I've seen of his) comic who's 'thing' is excessive amounts of anger. I personally think he's pretty funny, but when he tells a bad joke he's really really lame!
