This is an IHeart podcast.

It wouldn't be Las Vegas Week, also known as Viva Las Content, without talking to the comedic mayor of the city.

A staple on the strip, his legendary two-decade run at the Luxor helped define the stand-up industry and stands as one of the

heart, he's appeared on TV shows like

George Lopez, Scrubs, Glee, and Hacks, and starred in his own movie, 1997's Chairman of the
