Nick Griffin has appeared several times on Letterman as well as on Craig Ferguson's little cavalcade. He's a dark comic with some horribly stark views on marriage, happiness, and success. And he's great.
When he did a set for Letterman, they took a look at a line in his set: "…because young girls are filled with sugar and spice and everything nice; and I'm filled with anger and semen and shame", and asked/told him to change "semen" to "prozac". Wouldn't that be a convenient trick. If you watch the video, you'll notice what is probably a stutter before he adjusts to the changed line.
Griffin is probably never going to be happy. And there's nothing we can do about that. One of his best jokes is a response to his date telling him he's just afraid of his feelings. "No, I'm afraid of your feelings. I've got pills for my feelings."
The following was recorded in the West Palm Beach airport while waiting for a flight. Something about it makes me really want to pursue this stand-up thing.
