Andrew Dice Clay, in Las Vegas Weekly, on being asked his about his placement as number 95 in Comedy Central’s 100 Greatest Standups of All Time:

“I don’t even buy into shows like that. It’s all comics putting themselves where they want to be. I did arena shows for many years. At a 100 per cent sellout rate– 20,000, 15,000 people a night. I’m the biggest standup comic there ever was as far as straight standup goes. I should have been number one, if they were really being factual about it. And what’s being planned now is for me to do Giants Stadium. I’d like to see somebody do that other than me. That’s going to be the biggest one-man standup show ever in our history of American pop culture. And I’m doing it because nobody else ever could. The only one I’m topping is myself.”

Clay will be a the Luxor October 18 through November 12.

“Success? You can’t get a big head about it. When people stare at me, they could be whispering to their friend, ‘That guy sucks! Have you seen him before? He’s horrible.'”

–David Spade, quoted in What’s On. Spade appeared at the Mirage October 14-15.

“I’ve heard people say I switched (my politics) for career purposes. I defy anybody to say coming out in Hollywood and saying you voted for George Bush can do any good in that community. That’s not a big ice breaker, trust me.”

–Dennis Miller, in Nevada Events and Shows. Miller will be appearing at the MGM Grand October 20-24.
