- Otto is a ventriloquist and George is his extremely sick puppet pal
- Started as a street performer in New York City.
- Bought his dummy, George, for $350 in a Times Square store.
- Was inspired by Paul Winchell.
- Grew up in Staten Island, New York City.
- [John Lennon gave him two dollars] He came up and said, '$1.50 is for your puppet, and the rest of it's for you, since he was funnier.
- Clubs need to inform people that this is going to be a filthy night of comedy. I was playing a place in Rhode Island recently, and there were grandmothers and conservative-looking women in the crowd. They had no idea that they were going to see a brutal show. They thought they were going to see Bob Hope. I'm no Bob Hope.
